From their github (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp)

The key features of Carp are the following:

- Automatic and deterministic memory management (no garbage collector or VM)

- Inferred static types for great speed and reliability

- Ownership tracking enables a functional programming style while still using mutation of cache friendly data structures under the hood

- No hidden performance penalties – allocation and copying is explicit

- Straight-forward integration with existing C code

This actually sounds like exactly what I’ve been wanting! I use Clojure and it’s great, but I’ve been wanting to use something to interop with some C++ code but while I like C++ more than most, I’d rather write in Clojure (or something like it). Awesome!
