I immediately thought about the same language. It's clean, safe, fast and explicit, even if a bit verbose. With a quite nice compiler, last time I checked (some 10 years ago), and without "undefined behaviour".

Or even use an explicit C-like dialect that defines more things, if you like the syntax.
