Well, what about ocaml?
It is a functional language. Quite different approach.
It runs under unix and windows. You can build standalone executables. It
is strongly typed ML-like language. Has bindings to gtk and opengl, and
it has a speed and memory comparable to C/C++.

Another bet is mercury: a typed prolog variant.
