Question

I feel the two languages are not enough to rapid build complex but high performance native applications.

I want a language which includes:

• Compile time type check.
• Memory pointer, but no code pointer.
• A VM kind design inside, but not need to be run on VM (like Java).
• Auto memory management.
• OOP, but not to be pure OOP.
• Generics.
• Reflective operations.
• Open community.

And one more thing: .NET is always excluded by no reason.

It may tricky to add auto memory management in C++, but it’s not so easy to add reflect support.

It’s even better if the language can do:

• Closure
• Tail recursion

Answer 1

D, perhaps.

I would also suggest looking at Scala or C# (there is Mono, fwiw), but they miss out on the “native target” bit. For most applications they will likely have the required “high performance” — but it depends upon specific application and functional requirements. (In any case, I would use either of those languages above Java without a second of doubt 🙂
