What is the best language ?

The best language: 

1. Must be full portable on all mashines, included the names of subroutines
2. Include every feature of other languages: 
   3.  Have simple notation
   4.  supports structurised programming 
   5.  Can check all errors, included check arguments of all Subroutines of a
       program, included check arguments of external subroutines
   6.  Allows multitasking
   7.  Allows to program interrupt-routines
   8.  Allows to program runtime-errorhandling
   9.  Allows to program in objectorientated style  
   10. Allows to program generic Functions
   11. Allows to call subroutines and Functions with keywords (like Fortrans
       write(UNIT=1,ERR=3) statement
   12. The Compiler should allow default values in Functions
   13. Allows to program in a cryptic style like &@$#$@
14. the compiler should be very expensive (10000 $ minimum) on every machine
15. the compiler should use MegaBytes of Diskspace
16. the compiler should use MegaBytes of Memoryspace
16. the compiler should be not used by anyone
17. the compiler should not be available on Acorn Archimedes

This language exists:
it's called 
ADA
