Rust and C++ came to mind when I wrote that. That's why I didn't write modern languages _must_, but only called it a minus if they didn't.
And thanks for the relativism in that remark about the most highly polished language from the 1980s. I fear you are right in that (example: today, a colleague said this was the first time he created a thread. He has had a job as a developer for a few years, and, given his age, likely never wrote for a CPU that isn't multi-core. Luckily, he isn't dumb, as he asked what would happen if that thread threw an exception)
