I'm just a hobbyist (I use C++ wrapped in R for my research and exploration) but my dream is something like julia (https://julialang.org/) but with modern C++ syntax. I have really enjoyed the recent metaprogramming additions to C++ and would love to have that in an interactive environment with incremental jit. (I know this can be kind of done now but its not like using R Studio or other nice user platforms.) BTW, C++ is found in high performance scientific computing, but not as often as Fortran and C.
If you are looking for a high-level language with support for metaprogramming, I suggest you look into Python. You can even write Python bindings for C++ using Boost.Python ! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
