Roc [1] is the language I think does the best trade-off among high-level instructions, design simplicity, performance, and pragmatism to handle real-world tasks. It started as a purely functional language, but the authors are adding some escape hatches, such as imperative for loops, for cases where the functional approach is too complex (e.g., implementing quicksort). And it is pragmatic like Go when it comes to simplicity, compiling fast, and running fast. AI programming and a compiler that catches bugs through good language design make a great match.
