The D programming language [http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ http://www.digitalmars.com/d/] was designed primarily to be a better C++. It has C-style syntax, a vaguely similar OO model to Java, and compiles directly to machine code, with performance as priority (it even allows you to drop to assembly if desired). The lack of C backwards compatibility allowed them to clean up a lot of the uglier areas of C++.
