I came across this language today while surfing around a bit :
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html. The language is in relatively close family to C and C++ and to me it looks rather nice to work with.
There is a language comparision here
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/comparison.html and the supported features in the compiler in my opinion shows that this is something to look closer at, especially the possibility of Nested functions and Resizeable arrays.
I think this language will be my new toy this winter...
