Don't need to "wonder". Just use a Wirthian-inspired language and see where it takes you.

For me, been coding C++ for nearly 30 years and last few months have been taking Modula-3 (M3) for a "test drive". M3 is "complete" and early on it was very obvious to me that the "C++ experiment" has gone on for too many decades. The amazing thing is that M3 was "complete" since the late 1980's, thanks to the programming-language gurus at DEC/Olivetti/etc. You can sense in the M3 literature that these/other gurus were aware of the "issues" that C++ would develop in the future. As Wirth would imply, all you need is a lightweight/simple language-core that can be used to create great libraries.
