Those 4 bullet points all sound a lot like Dylan (http://opendylan.org/).

I'd have said Common Lisp as well, but some might argue point #1 with respect to that.

It is nice to see others (re-)discovering the joy of full on multiple dispatch though!

Reading the new Dylan documentation makes me wonder how if would have turned out if Apple invested more strongly in the language.

An expressive dynamic language with repl and native code compilers. quite nice.

The one thing so far that I don't like is <> around identifiers.

< > is a naming convention for types (e.g., classes) only.

I know, but still makes the code ugly to my liking.
