Which language would you use if you had to start a new project from scratch?

Erlang for everything but number crunching + C for number crunching parts.
Other options that I might consider are Erlang + C++ and Erlang + Rust.

probably c++ because that's the only compiled language i know that has developers still know c++ and is actually you know a compiled language.

C++ seems like is only language that satisfies listed requirements. Of course C could be used as well but C++ offers advantages in threading. If you would just need number crunching FORTRAN would work as well. In numerical computations it beats C++ but it's slower for everything else.

rust obviously.
c++ is a nightmare for anything bigger than hello world or fizzbuzz.

HolyC, god's chosen language

Show me any large Rust project Steve. When you speak shit about C++ you have to back that up.
