What makes a good programming language

Why do some programming languages fail, whereas others are loved?

This is a presentation on my theorem of Horseshoe Accessibility, which states that ultra-high level languages (like JavaScript) end up being actually harder to use than lower level languages as their abstractions makes them too hard to use.

(The thumbnail is cosmetic. I would probably shift around orderings if I were to make it again)
