There are no good C-like interpreted languages, /prog/. I plan to design a new language with the following features:

* C-like in syntax
* statically typed, not dynamically typed
* strongly typed, not weakly typed
* interpreted in the main implementation, but compilers are possible
* functions are first class objects
* classes, none of that duck typing shit
* basic data structures like vectors, lists, etc. are included, unlike in C
* templates for generic programming

Feel free to comment along the way as I ramble about various ideas for the language.

Types

In C, all the basic integral types are defined as a certain minimum of bits or greater (e.g. int is defined as a signed integer at least 16 bits wide). In this new language, all the integral types will follow the C99 fixed types convention, without the _t. That is, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, etc.

Floating point types will be named float32, float64, etc.

I might choose to include things like static storage duration and other variable modifiers like in C. Everything is on the heap though, and garbage collected.
