ML (Score:1)

ML, particularly ocaml [inria.fr].

For good performance (esp. memory usage), the compiler needs
static typing. For the programmer, static typing
necessitates type inference. Static typing without type
inference leads to the irritating verbosity of C or Java.

I'd love to see a type-inferenced version of C, actually,
for those programs where ocaml is too high-level -- for
example, kernels.
