So what does a Journeyman Programming Language need? It needs to have a few general characteristics:

• It has to be simple enough in syntax and conceptual framework that people not in the top 10% of the profession can feel comfortable working with it.
• It has to be flexible enough to cover the amount of back-end, rich GUI, web app, and systems programming that goes on in the industry.
• It has to make simple, common programming errors (memory allocation, array bounds, etc.) difficult or impossible.
• It has to make it easy for Journeyman Programmers to change projects or jobs on a regular basis.

I agree with almost of this in here.
