None of the programming languages that I know well myself provides the sort of balance I’d like to see between:

(a) strong visibility of and control over effects,

(b) an emphasis on powerful tools to represent and manipulate data, and

(c) straightforward imperative/stateful aspects when required.

Of course that isn’t to say that no such language exists, but if it does then sadly I have yet to become aware of it. New ideas are always welcome…

You may want to try Nim. It is an imperative language with meta programming capabilities, some functional features and an effect system
