Ask HN: Can you help me remember the name of a programming language?

2 points by DangitBobby ↗ HN
I encountered this programming language nearly a year ago that was fairly new at the time. I have been doing web searches for new or emerging languages and looking through lists of known languages to no avail. The only thing I remember about it is that it was supposed to be like Go without some of the aspects of Go that the author hated. I want to say the name started with a "D".

Oh wow, thank you for jogging my memory about this very esoteric language!

Was it interpreted, compiled? Was it functional, imperative, logic oriented language?

Okay, lone_haxx0r mentioned it. Odin. I was slightly off on the back-story, they made it because they were fed up with C++ and didn't want to just extend C. I guess the assessment of "Go without some of the aspects of Go that the author hated" was just projection on my part. Anyway, here's a link to the website if anyone is interested.
