Judging a language without even looking at it seems rather odd.
Pascal is largely obsolete now, but I still appreciate it -- of the 40 or so languages I

The revived 2013 re-issue of Niklaus Wirth's Oberon system is a joy
to behold. If you've never heard of Oberon before, it is a
minimalistic education-oriented language and operating system
designed after Wirth had taken a (second) sabattical at PARC in the
80's.
