Simple and great idea that's been in my mind for at least a decade now (seriously): just give us Pascal sets and ranges with Python-like super-minimalist syntax and all the other sugar and fructose of modern languages. And, if you can, some sort of unification of functions and classes, JavaScript-style. Nimrod is quite close, though probably not exactly there (yet). Anyway, there are two kinds of programmers: those who build compilers and those who start writing ones but never finish.
