As others pointed out, different ways of "programming" are best for different problem domains, and there is virtually no chance that a one-size-fits-all language can be useful to do or teach programming in every domain.

Moreover, regardless of the language, you have to develop the ability to think like a computer, which means that there is no magical DWIM (do what I mean) button/keyword available to you. Some people have a harder time developing this essential ability than others; they should probably consider a different career path, no matter what languages are available out there.
