Those who like this might also like my language project, Runa:
A Python-like systems programming language. This means that the design borrows as much from Python as makes sense in the context of a statically-typed, compiled language, and tries to apply the Zen of Python to everything else. The most important design goals for Runa are developer ergonomics and performance. The compiler is written in Python and targets LLVM IR; there's no run-time. More information can be found on the project website.
