personal plug: I've also been working on a programming language in my spare time, called "OWL"; My language is, coincidentally, also meant to be a cleaned up C++ for game development. It is an object-oriented systems language, without a garbage collector where it's most notable features are: * classes are reference types to avoid slicing (but may still be stack allocated) * classes are reference counted * arrays are sized * semicolons are optional * tuples are first class types. (essentially acting as anonymous structs) * basic one-way compatibility for importing C headers The compiler can be found here: https://github.com/bsurmanski/wlc https://github.com/bsurmanski/wlc currently it compiles for both Linux and Windows, requiring LLVM as a dependency. a game written in OWL for Ludum Dare 30 can be found here: https://github.com/bsurmanski/ld30 https://github.com/bsurmanski/ld30
