I don't see much point in the language. If you limit yourself to a minimalistic language in order for your library to be translatable, how will the API look like in the target languages? It won't use any language-specific features that make APIs easy to uses (for example it likely won't provide any range functionality or templates in D..). You might as well use C, or C++ with some extern "C" API functions. Then you can write a stable API, have full optimizations, and can even distribute the built binaries for some platforms (and you build once per platform, instead of N*platforms * N*languages). Most languages can interface with C too.
