Take a look at Nim. It can compile to C so speed should not be a problem.

Heard about Nim it's trying to be the successor of python right?

Thanks for reminding me of it.

I wonder if Elixir can be used for this as well. (thinking mood)

Found this looks interesting and promising thoughtbot.com/blog/is-elixir-a-sc...

The syntax does look a lot like python but they take ideas from other languages as well. The fact that is type-safe and can generate self-contained binaries is certainly an advantage they have over python.

Interesting, I will have to test it, I like what you are saying about it.
