I'm not a fan of relying only on any single language, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but D comes with a lot that some people wouldn't expect. It covers a lot of low-level and high-level concepts, and has a decent package manager attached to the ecosystem. (dub). Which means you can magically do things like: #!/usr/bin/env dub /+ dub.sdl: dependency "vibe-d" version="~>0.8.0" +/ void main() { import vibe.d; listenHTTP(":8080", (req, res) { res.writeBody("Hello, World: " ~ req.path); }); runApplication(); } Whilst at the same time D also supports a 'betterC' flag so that transferring your low-level code to a language with higher-level support and higher levels of safety is fairly easy. It has generics, compile-time evaluation, a great FFI story, and a fairly decent ecosystem of packages out there for you to play with. It has threading and multiprocessing and... So on.
