I have noticed there are 3 more languages that have appeared that seem to promise the speed and memory benefits of C and yet are higher level languages:
Has anyone looked at lisaac, Vala, or Genie?
Lisaac is claimed to be just as fast as C and was designed to be used to
write operating systems just like C was. It looks extremely
interesting but there appears to be little or no activity with it for
quite a while.
Vala is a C#/Java type of language that compiles to C code and also is
claimed to give the advantages of C#/Java but the low level speed and
control of C. You can compile stand-alone executable programs with
it, unlike most other interesting languages.
Genie is a brother to Vala and looks more like a static Python. The web
page blurb goes like this:
The syntax of Genie is designed to be clean, clear and concise.
In some ways its cleaner than Python and is certainly a lot more
concise than C#/Java.
Genie of course has all the advantages of Vala and you can
seamlessly use Vala code and bindings with it too just like a
CLR.
