There may be valid arguments to replace certain (or all) uses of C++ with conceptually different languages. If this is the case, perhaps Go might appeal to some C++ users. But if you want a language that is philosophically similar to C++, D is pretty close. D 2.0 also provides some handy features for functional programming - lazy evaluation (D1 also), immutable data, pure functions, [implicit non-sharing of memory across threads].
