I just spent a minute looking at these and both are interesting,
though Cobra looks .NET specific and I'd rather have something that
makes standalone native executables.  Also, I don't see support in
either of these languages for higher-order functions, iterators,
libraries with powerful static datatypes, etc.  Also, no mention of
concurrency.  But, as I said, I only looked for a minute.

There is something called Links that looks interesting for web
programming:

I don't know if it's still being worked on.
