Literally all you need or could ever want.
I'm willing to include Smalltalk, but you're gonna have to give some pretty good arguments.
Pascal might also be a valid alternative to C.
\TeX and \METAFONT are of course givens.
Fight me.

Think of how not terrible and unmanageable everything might be if these were all that were available and people were forced to learn how to use them properly.

Scheme should replace sh/bash, it's perfect for the task.
Pascal should completely replace C.

Everything can be done with Scheme (which itself is easily implementable in FORTH) but it doesn't mean other things don't have a place or shouldn't be used. They should remain on the list if only for legacy reasons.. Bash and C aren't going anywhere.
Scheme and Pascal should for sure be utilized more instead though.
I really wish scsh wasn't bitrotted to hell...
Colton Baker
Ehhh I say if we are imagining such scenerios we should drop c and she'll scripting altogether, and have some form of lisp that is efficient for systems programming

No one wants to fight for Smalltalk huh?

scheme and haskell are boh functional, isn't that a lot of overlap?
