Limbo/Inferno has been mentioned in this thread. Alef is dead, and cannot
be brought back (licencing issues with SGI iirc) -- was it GC, though?
Then there's Newsqueak, but I think that's just a proof-of-concept toy,
and not very useable.

But limbo is alive and available, and can be tried out under Windows,
plan9, linux, mac (I think).
