Your post seems to imply that the problem is the language itself. I don't see it that way; and a recent study, probably the most comprehensive of its type ever, seems to support that.
People and companies don't pick (or not pick) programming languages based upon syntax or features. They are picked on the basis of perceptions; and perceptions are influenced by a huge variety of factors; of which syntax is well down the order.
