A portable assembly language intended to replace C as a target for compilers. It retains some of C's syntax, but does away with its restrictive calling conventions, and provides (or allows easy implementation of) proper tail recursion, garbage collection, exceptions of all sorts, and other goodies. The language is still young and in flux, but there are implementions available, and it looks like it might be a big win for compiler writers in a few years.
