I wanted to ask this in a previous thread but I thought it needed it's topic.
Would it be possible to make a compiled language as fast as c and c++, multi paradigm like c++, less complex than them both and can be used like in really complex situations like in making an OS/game engine/IDE etc.
Just wondering (may have mistakes above).
Thanks.
Absolutely.
Whether or not any existing languages (such as the above-linked go and D) already meet most of those requirements is pretty subjective; we can obviously measure execution speed for code solving similar tasks, but what qualifies as "less complex" and what qualifies as "really complex situations" really depend on the skills and preferences of the programmer.
If you were thinking about starting such a project from scratch you should expect it to be very difficult, to take a lot of work, and to take quite some time to have anything workable; creating your own language (even if it's just a toy language) is however an excellent learning experience that's well worth undertaking at some point if you're interested in the low-level details of programming.

Java and D seem a lot like C++ (java involves more typing) and Go like C.
Please don't ever compare Java to C++ again. It hurts me deep in my soul. :p

i probably will undertake a project like this. I just feel like some things are more misunderstandable than they should be and there should be a better way.Absolutely.

Of course it would be possible but weather or not it is feasible or even productive is another matter.
