That's true, you can't totally avoid knowing about these things. But if you don't want to think about them in your code, and are okay with the price, you can.
It sounds like Swift may be close to what you want, yeah?

Anyone familiar to swift internals here to say whether server-side swift is at least theorically feasible ?
First there will be need of a standard library. For the moment to do anything sensible you are importing Apple's Foundation Library (probably in one year time it will be better).
Then I see no problem to have it server-side (both as a scripting or compiled language).
