Well, my first guess was Java.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
	int variableOne = 500;
	String myVariable = variableOne + "cool";
	System.out.println(myVariable);
    }
}

gere(1)> javac Test.java 
gere(2)> java Test
500cool

Since I havn't found a % operator or a printf function, I like it.
