| How about OCaml?  Or what do you mean by "statically-typed python-like"?

I mean something that has the low-level qualities of C (suitable for
making a kernel, device driver, malloc/free, or performance critical
sections of the program) but still looks like Python does (indentation
for semantics, etc).  I don't have a very precise notion apart from
replacing C as Python's complement.
