Screwing around with Beef (programming language)
Beef is an open source, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language.

History
The creator of Beef, known online as "BeefDev", was formerly a co-founder of PopCap Games. They explained in a comment on Hacker News that:"Before Beef, I was developing game code in C# and engine code in C++ and I felt C# was just much more pleasant to work with... it struck me that none of the things I liked about C# really had anything to do with the JIT or the GC, and it may be possible to create a 'best of' merging between C# and C++."A few years after leaving PopCap Games when it was acquired by EA, BeefDev began work on Beef. Five years later, the first public version was released.
