What is the best language to replace objective-c?

Question

After reading Is a virtual machine for Cocoa programming inevitable? , I would like to know what language is in your mind, if replacement really happens, and why?

Correctable language and API complaints include

• lack of tuples, slices, maps, or associations at the syntax level;
• lack of programming patterns;
• lack of namespaces;
• lack of default parameters for methods;
• lack of redefinition / overload of the operator;
• leaks and premature collection by the garbage collector;
• dictionary, encoded named conventions;
• lack of package management;
• lack of ready support for business APIs such as REST, SOAP, SQL, etc.
• You can even change the often called square bracket method syntax if necessary.

ps one language per answer please.

Answer 1

How valid are the complaints:

Correctable language and API complaints include

• lack of tuples, slices, maps, or associations at the syntax level;

So what?

• lack of programming patterns;

Are these C ++ templates? Then use Objective-C ++. Personally, I think this is a plus that we do not have them in Objective-C.

• lack of namespaces;

It's really. I really liked the namespaces.

• lack of default parameters for methods;

This is another feature I'm glad not in Objective-C

• lack of redefinition / overload of the operator;

This is another feature I'm glad not in Objective-C
