I'd recommend trying J. Download here - https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation#Installa... . There is, of course, the famous barrier to entry, but the result, unsurprisingly, is also respectable.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've honestly never heard of J and I'll take a look at it.

To understand what's going on I'd recommend "J for C programmers" (see links on Jsoftware site) and also the mailing list - it could be very helpful.
