I like all #programming languages. I like even more those languages that an experienced #programmer could learn in a few hours, like #Elm, #TypeScript, #Gleam, and a few other similar ones.
I am not claiming that these languages will make all jaded programmers happy, for each has its own set of pluses and minuses. I am simply pointing out that "unquantifiable something" in their design that makes these languages easier to take up.
That "something" could well be #simplicity. The designers of these little languages seem to be more concerned with making the language users' lives easier through simplicity, instead of with impressing other language designers through complexity. This is also the same philosophy behind FORTRAN, LISP, C, and Smalltalk. And I would add ML, MATLAB, and Go to this list, too.
