The Go (http://golang.org/) programming language is designed with similar goals to D (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/), i.e. as a faster, more capable C/C++ replacement. It was invented by someone at Google. It only supports Mac OS X and Linux right now, but I'm sure a Windows port will be made eventually.

Go has features that C doesn't, like garbage collection. The web site says Go code compiles quickly AND runs fast, but I don't necessarily have faith in that statement - I'd have to try it first. I just learned about this language today, so I haven't had a chance to grab the source code and compile it.
