I tend to prefer languages like C++, C#, Ada and so on, because I am the opinion the language should be expressive to explore multiple abstractions and powerful enough to allow user types to behave like built-in ones.
Maybe that works for me, given the years I have been coding (since '86) and my background in compiler design.
