He wants a language which can (preferably) run on everything from 8 bit to 64 bit CPUs and also run on various embedded OSes.

C# only covers a very small subset. Somewhat more if you include Mono, but I guess that puts it in the same league as Java which he did mention.

Does Go run on 8-bit CPUs? I highly doubt it, given that Go uses its own runtime system including garbage collection.

Quoting Google's Russel Cox in a mailing list discussion linked to above: "Go requires that int be at least 32 bits and that int64 and uint64 be supplied; practically that means we've given up on 8- and 16-bit CPUs."

yeah, he lost some credibility by omitting c# and brushing D aside, and even more by including javascript (!)

Yeah, I was just thinking that C# sounds a lot like his ideal language. It kind of feels like he's one of those people who thinks that C# == java. It doesn't hit all his points, but it hits a few.
