"My advanced, fast, high-performance, and powerful language/system/framework is so efficient, flexible, concise, usable, readable, extensible, structured, and simple." In general if I read any of those descriptors without the associated comparative object, I categorize them as advertising weasel word for whatever X is being described as having them. Those words are comparison words. They are meaningless without either benchmarks, or direct comparisons with other items in the IT landscape that have well known quantities for X. So plop modern on that pile as well. It's even more of a loaded term, because "modern" implies a range of component interpretations, from trendiness to actual advancements in the "state of the art" (such as UTF-8 vs ASCII).
