And if you really want to go high-level wouldn't Vala be the language?

  Vala is actually a really pleasant way to interact with the various bits of the Gnome environment. It's a shame, in my opinion, that it never really received widespread love. I think all serious work on it stopped about a decade ago.

    Isn't it still used by gnome, elementary, etc? I suppose it's very gnome specific.

      It's used but some of the core gnome developers have advocated for people to stop using it. What I can find with a quick search this morning: [1] [2] Then again, there are also several people who still say it's worth using: [3] [4] So maybe it's just Emmanuele Bassi advocating against it. If you look at the development pace, though, it hasn't really seen any significant development for quite a long time.
