Everytime I've thought, 'my language ought to do...' ruby usually does it. It manages to combine extreme utilitarianism - it does a good a job as perl in most places that perl does best - with elegance and simplicity in the language design.
If you like perl because it makes handling regex easy, but you think that the way perl handles OO is a little strange you'll love it.

Solaris does, as does Linux x86 (beta, but works pretty well)
