Wow - what's driving the quest for new programming languages? Is there a gap that is still not addressed by the existing languages?

At the core, there is only one control statement (GOTO) and a few operations that work on values in memory - IF, READ, WRITE, ADD etc. Anything else is a recipe that uses these ingredients.
