A Serious Discussion

Dare I dream... Is it possible to have a conversation here on /prog/ about program languages in general? As well as, creating a programming language. Specs would be around the range of:

- Language doesn't already exist
(Go the fuck away and promote your favorite language somewhere else.)
- No Forced Garbage Collection
- Libraries which include Garbage Collection
- Easy to read (Maybe even easier than python)
- Mainly statically compiles binaries
- Has the option to run source code as scripts
- Full on support for OOP, but doesn't force OOP
- Support for various Operating Systems
- Doesn't add a bunch of B.S. to compiled binary, just code, options for leaving in comments.

Having built in support for a GC and also having its use being optional would be a very nice thing to have. It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement at all as well. It would introduce memory errors though, although the programmer could keep the possible sources of them low. The tricky situations could be left to garbage collection, and the tight loops with allocations in them could use malloc free style. It would be a happy combination.
