D

I have been tinkering with D in the past. It's a very nice language, that is be designed to be used at pretty much the same level as C++. But because full C compatibility was not a design goal, it has done some things much cleaner and simpler than C++. Additionally, D 2.0 will feature a functional subset. There's a nice interview with the designer of the language, Walter Bright, at:

He has previously written the first native C++ compiler (Zortech C++, later Symantec C++), and currently develops and publishes Digital Mars C++ as well.

Thanks for the link. I'm always looking for something new to tinker with!
