If you want a safe language with strong, static typing and good
clean OO features (no, C++ doesn't qualify) you might want to
take a look at Modula-3.

                        http://www.m3.org/

M3 isn't very good for tossing together a disposable
one-file-wonder the way Python is, and it's not as interactive
as Python either. But, it's got a lot of support for building
large, complex systems.
