I love static typing. I really dislike almost every dynamic language I've ever worked with. But Clojure is currently my favorite language. I've done C#, F#, Go, JS, Ruby, Dart, C, C++, dabbled in Haskell, OCaml, purescript, D, Nim... (I like programming.) Anyway, once I dove into Clojure, I couldn't go back to any other language. I do wish it was more general purpose (not so slow to boot, had a decent native / non JVM, non JS target.)



You should check out Ferret: http://ferret-lang.org. It compiles to C++11. I haven't tried it myself yet, so I don't know its limitations.
