The paper gives an overview of modern trends in programming languages’ evolution and proposes several concepts targeting to increase the level of suitability and simplicity of design and development of static typing software. In particular, non-traditional approach to the basic building block of software – a unit with attributes and routines is presented. Alternative scheme of multiple inheritance as a simple and unique method of software reuse extended with multi-types is given. Full solution for dealing with null-pointers and non-initialized variables is presented as well.
