"Frighteningly Ambitious" has become the new "A Modest Proposal."

Originality is a rare and ephemeral fruit.

I notice that none of the words in your post are original. Even your username is a plain English word you could find in any pocket dictionary. Literary allusion is fine, and originality is not required in all communications.
Overused allusion becomes cliche, and unoriginal communication is line noise.
I think an ambition programming language idea would be a general purpose language that actually did math correctly without kludges. Even with large number support, math in most major languages is incorrect by default.

Text should not be considered different data types either, nor have different ways of referencing it that don't convey anything but language specific ideas.

Programming languages should also understand multiple human languages and be able to translate between them without problems.

Programming languages in sort should be human languages.
