Can you list some programming languages that achieve this task in a way you approve of?Plenty, pick just about any one. C#, Haskell, javascript, lua, python, perl, C++(yes, c++, we are not talking about language features but usability).
I had a quick look at the implementations of some of the languages you mentioned. They use the C API or use the Windows API without the UNC prefix.
You are lying.
