- compiled language - indentation based - functional programming features Looks like a description of Haskell. You may want to look there. Back end: LLVM is gaining a lot of traction these days. Seems to give best of both worlds -- compiling to C and to machine code -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
