This is not to troll, but Nimrod (which has been mentioned a few times on list) is a language that looks something like mainly Pascal or Python and builds C code that will be subsequently compiled with a soft-realtime garbage collector or without (it does code elimination, GC included, if you are clever). If you are nuts you can opt to force using the Boehm GC with it, but do not expect great things out of it. There is also Rust. I am sure if you spend time on HN you have heard a lot about the latter.
