How about D?

This seems to me to be a great choice for much of LP's needs.  C/C++ like core 
syntax (you can write pretty much pure C when you need to for specificity or 
efficiency), but with a much more elegant OO syntax than C++; automatic memory 
management; support for LISP-like and functional programming; much more readily 
suited for writing multi-threaded code; ...

Their string mixin concept looks like it might also be very useful for LP:
