I'm aware that there is great frameworks around in java to help you do good rest application. Back in the C/C++ time we also had good frameworks to deal with sockets, etc. Still, when thinking back for me at least java was a welcome relieve that such a fundamental function in the new world was built in and could be built on top of.
Thanks for your suggestion on supporting patterns better in a language. That could certainly help a lot too. On your remark about weather a better language is possible or not I'd say yes, but it has to solve a totally fundamental other problem. My take on it is I guess that today we're sharing libraries to make development easier. If we could possibly share whole application building blocks in the future (say an online store and a cms and a crm) and make it look like one application we could possibly have a better language. We can do this in java but we would have to agree on what stack to use, etc. hence the thought of a language to set all that up.
