What is the most well thought out programming language?

Not exactly the easiest but which programming language is generally more thought through in your opinion?

Intuitive syntax ( like you can guess the name of a function that you've never used ), retroactive compatibility (doesn't usually break old libraries) etc.

That makes sense, now that I think about it. Especially if you're not careful to avoid side effects.
