C, Pascal, Ada, etc. are not self-documenting languages.

But how about this for a wish list item: Code that one can read.

Afterall, one can express cooking algorithms in terms of a "formal"
recipe language. Why not a general purpose language which is as
readable?

(don't go overboard on the cookie recipe analogy, and start complaing
 about things from net.cooks that you couldn't do; It is only an
 illustrative metaphor)
