I maintain the FreeBSD port lang/qore, and it's a Perl-like interpreted language that supports SMP environments. The interpreter and runtime are written in C++. It has a number of interesting features inspired from a variety of interesting languages (interpreted and compiled).
I created the port for it because, primarily due to its SMP support, has come closest to competing with Perl in my desire to use it.
