What problems do you want to solve?
My inability to identify a good general purpose UNIX programming language
that is compiled to native code and has good library support :-)
I'd like to be able to write apps with a GUI and be able to issue SQL, just
general purpose stuff.
If you don't want to use C/C++, you can't beat FreePascal & Lazarus.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
