What do you mean by appeared? When were the languages inteoduced? Is the speed and memory stuff just a claim? Or are there real benchmarks?

I have noticed there are 3 more languages that have appeared that seem
to promise the speed and memory benefits of C and yet are higher level
languages:

Has anyone looked at lisaac, Vala, or Genie?

Lisaac is claimed to be just as fast as C and was designed to be used to
write operating systems just like C was.   It looks extremely
interesting but there appears to be little or no activity with it for
quite a while.

Vala is a C#/Java type of language that compiles to C code and also is
claimed to give the advantages of C#/Java but the low level speed and
control of C.    You can compile stand-alone executable programs with
it, unlike most other interesting languages.

Genie is a brother to Vala and looks more like a static Python. The web
page blurb goes like this:

       The syntax of Genie is designed to be clean, clear and concise.
In some ways its cleaner than Python and is certainly a lot more
       concise than C#/Java.

       Genie of course has all the advantages of Vala and you can
       seamlessly use Vala code and bindings with it too just like a
       CLR.
