Libraries only get you so far. If a library does everything you're going to do, why write a line of code? If it does not then you need to use the language and it's not only matter of syntax. There are problems which would be much easier solved if you could use multiple inheritance, multiple dispatch, containers that really work with multiple types of objects (at the same time), any editor or IDE is not going to smooth out these bumps, it's going to take your time, nerves and hair pulling.
There are much more advanced and programmer friendly languages out there, you should definitely check them out (take a look at perl, python, lisp, ruby, factor), especially languages with metaprogramming abilities and interactive development (REPL). Writing libraries with them is like resting (not that many of them have pretty extensive set of libraries already).
