There is unfortunately a shortage, still in 2021, of languages that have a null set of inexcusable downsides.

I will trade - unhappily - ADTs for value types, automatic memory management, some language-level concurrency support, a compiler that builds our largest project in under two minutes, and a community large enough I can spend my time training new hires on fundamentals and business problems and not tool onboarding.

.NET Native, OCaml, Eiffel, Common Lisp, D, Nim just for starters.

Value types are almost there in Java, but without deliberately trashing the GC you can get away without them, and it has all the other qualities (and will have ADTs as well, sealed classes are already in preview)
