According to my boss, the ideal programming language would allow him to scribble things onto a piece of paper, rub that piece of paper really hard on his screen, and presto; programming!
Coincidentally, the idea of there being a consensus on an ideal programming language is just as likely to occur.

I believe this is quite an open ended question. Its almost like asking people - "What would be your ideal music? ". While everyone in the world - after hearing a music / song - will be able to tell you whether they like it or not - They wont be able to tell you what their ideal music is. Mostly because they dont know.
On a side note : A Programming Language is a User Interface - and the best User Interface is the one that is invisible. So, an ideal Programming Language is the one that is mostly invisible.

I think Nim is really really closed to it. If it could add more dynamic features, meta programming.
And if there was a Hexagon Graph on programming languages, it should draw an Hexagon at the 80% region, it isn't the best for everything, but you could use it in any scenario without heavy compromise.

F# with C# syntax. Something like Scala for CLR but with proper tools and compiler-as-a-service.
That way everyone working on a codebase could have it appear to them with their favorite language syntax style and formatting.
