What about Modula-3?
Never heard of it until you mentioned it. The wikipedia page starts
off by saying "modula-3 is a now little-used programming language..."
My favorite language has always been Standard-ML.
SML is nice, but it falls down in the real world when you need to
interact with stuff that isn't written in SML. Maybe things have
changed since I learned it ca. 1990, but back then it was an ivory
tower theoretician's wet dream and a pragmatic programmer's nightmare.
