ML
An acronym for Meta Language (originally for the theorem prover LCF) is a class of non-lazy, statically-typed, statically-compiled, pattern-matching functional programming languages.ML comes in two traditions: Standard ML and CAML. Both have very efficient (on par with or faster than C++) implementations (in particular, SML/NJ and OCAML). OCAML has a cleaner module system than SML, as well as an object system.
Are you looking for a possible alternative to C++? OCAML just might be your language. In particular, it is very efficient, but it's not as poorly designed as C++.
