EC: An Expressive and Intuitive, C Style Object-Oriented Programming Language

Impressive. At a glance, that's really well designed. Why haven't I heard of this before?

I like the emphasis on sample code, and that the pulldown on the front page let's you view quite a few samples to get a feel for the language.

The boundary between eC and Ecere isn't immediately clear, though. And the site felt a little shy of technical details. I think it outputs C which is then compiled with an outside compiler?

Presumably I'll find more details in the introductory manual, The Ecere Tao of Programming: http://ecere.org/tao.pdf

If it really gets c level performance this is a great step forward. JAI and also EC, finally performance critical programming is getting some more modern contenders.
