The Julia dynamic, technical language, for efficient, distributed development. It also built on LLVM, and has the beautiful IJulia interface. From the homepage:
- Multiple dispatch: providing ability to define function behavior across many combinations of argument types
- Dynamic type system: types for documentation, optimization, and dispatch
- Good performance, approaching that of statically-compiled languages like C
- Built-in package manager
- Lisp-like macros and other metaprogramming facilities
- Call Python functions: use the PyCall package
- Call C functions directly: no wrappers or special APIs
- Powerful shell-like capabilities for managing other processes
- Designed for parallelism and distributed computation
- Coroutines: lightweight “green” threading
- User-defined types are as fast and compact as built-ins
- Automatic generation of efficient, specialized code for different argument types
- Elegant and extensible conversions and promotions for numeric and other types
- Efficient support for Unicode, including but not limited to UTF-8
- MIT licensed: free and open source
