Sounds like he is begging for http://ooc-lang.org/ http://ooc-lang.org/ =) Opt-out garbage collection, type inference, operator overloading, full-blown OO but you can use covers if you just want to have methods on primitive types, some type inference, saner syntax, you can include C headers all you want (but it has a real, good module system), one-time declarations in any order, objects are by-reference.... Besides, you can replace the SDK pretty much as you want, you're not tied to any 'threads' implementation, the proof being: there's actually an OS written in ooc! http://github.com/tsion/oos http://github.com/tsion/oos (Of course I'm barely scratching ooc's features right now)
