There are only a few "popular" languages that have both, many that don't; those are not mandatory features for everyone.

I care about performance (ruling out any GC language), multi-platform native binaries, language readability, dev community, and a bundle of other factors. Pascal turns out to hit most of my needs and not annoy me too much.

Of the thousands of more obscure languages, I'm sure there's one that'd be perfect, except I'd have a worse time with libraries.
