https://github.com/riolet/ritchieRitchie is an expressive and efficient language for the C ecosystem. Ritchie uses C libraries natively and generates easy to understand C code.
There are five core principles behind Ritchie:
Ease of programming, inspired by Python
Fast, like C code
Type safety, like Scala
Ability to go lower level and write C code
No reserved keywords, everything is redefinable
TBH it doesn't look like much, but it is interesting, haven't tried it yet though :p
