The MiniD (has been renamed Croc) programming language is a small, lightweight, extension language in the vein of Lua or Squirrel, but designed to be used mainly with the D programming language. It supports both object-oriented and imperative programming paradigms, as well as some simple functional aspects. Distributed under the licence of zlib/libpng, MiniD is free software..

Example from the web:

module samples.interfaces

class Method
{
    _name
    _numParams

    this(name: string, numParams: int)
    {
        :_name = name
        :_numParams = numParams
    }

    function name() =
        :_name

    function implements(f: function) =
        f.numParams() == :_numParams

    function toString() =
        "{} ({} params)".format(:_name, :_numParams)
}

class Interface
{
    _name
    _methods
    _implementors

    this(name: string, methods: array)
    {
        if(!methods.all(\m -> m as Method))
            throw TypeError("All methods must be Methods")

        :_name = name
        :_methods = methods.dup()
        :_implementors = {}
    }

    function implement(T: class)
    {
        foreach(m; :_methods)
        {
            local name = m.name()

            if(!hasMethod(T, name) || !m.implements(T.(name)))
                throw TypeError("Class {} does not implement method '{}' from {}".format(nameOf(T), m, :_name))
        }

        :_implementors[T] = true
    }

    function opCall(val: instance)
    {
        if(superOf(val) not in :_implementors)
            :implement(superOf(val))

        return true
    }
}

function implements(T: class, vararg)
{
    for(i; 0 .. #vararg)
    {
        local p = vararg[i]

        if(!(p as Interface))
            throw TypeError("All varargs must be Interfaces")

        p.implement(T)
    }

    return T
}

local IStream = Interface("IStream",
[
    Method("read", 3)
    Method("write", 3)
    Method("seek", 2)
])

class DerpStream
{
    function read(m, offset, size) {}
    function write(m, offset, size) {}
    function seek(offset, whence) {}
}

function streamSomething(s: @IStream)
{
    s.read()
    writeln("yay!")
}

function main()
{
    local d = DerpStream()
    streamSomething(d)
}

Example from Wikipedia:

function first(x: array|string) = x[0]

 writeln(first([1, 2, 3])) // prints 1
 writeln(first("hello"))   // prints h
 writeln(first(45))        // error, invalid parameter type 'int'
