I have been looking for a long time for a C-like language, with a small number of object-oriented features and support for some functional primitives.

The closer I got is Rust, but I really hate the borrow system, I suppose I could program in unsafe Rust.

The alternative is C++, which feels too broad and complex, so I am sticking to C.

<evangelism> Sounds like you might like D (dlang.org). It does C better than C, has functional features without being as ridiculously complex as C++. </evangelism>

I was well aware of the existence of D, however I always thought of it as an extension of C++, so being more complex and more bloated.

Clearly I was wrong, and I spent the last hour playing with D!

Many thanks for your advice!
