For a second I thought by "they" you meant Java, C++ and C. They have
indeed all been rejected, if you think about it. 

Anybody want to do without GC and OO (besides Graham)? Goodbye C.

Anybody want to do without GC and worry about pointers and use templates
to get past static typing and wait minutes for a single
edit-compile-link-run iteration? Goodbye C++, witness the rejoicing over
Java, Perl, Python, Ruby...

Anybody happy with Java? Why are people adding JIT compilation, GFs, MI
(AspectJ) and macros?

Obviously the winner is any compiled (fast), GCed, GFing, MI dynamic
language with macros. Mature, an ANSII standard and a free
implementation would not hurt either. hang on...
