"Beautifulness" of programming languages is so subjective it's hard to have a productive conversation around it.

But I'll bite. Most of the languages you've listed are C-like and all of them have mostly similar syntax and function although the ecosystems are very different. Have you ever experienced larger applications written in completely different class of languages? Languages like various lisps, Prolog, ML and so on.

Fair-enough ... Within the category of C-like language, Dart is quite nice.

I have not. I have played around with lisp (scheme), prolog, Haskell, ML ... But for various reasons never used them professionally.
