If you're gonna bother with orthodox C++, or Go (suited to 3d games? nobody seems to have tried or lived to tell the tale), or Rust (no libraries anyway, so you may as well use something which wraps C easily and is higher level), why not try Nim?

I think if you were writing C, then Nim might be a good alternative. If you're writing C++, then Nim offers a lot of similar metaprogramming features; but it lacks RAII, which IMO is a monumental drawback. People may dislike C++ for many reasons, but RAII is a killer feature -- there's no question why languages like D and Rust adopted it.

We're slowly getting there though. I hope to release a blog post soon about how it might look like in Nim.
