Object-Oriented Languages on Bare Metal

I'm aware of C++ and Object Pascal, but are there any other object-oriented languages whose compilers currently can compile them to run on a machine with no operating system? If there are, do they have a sizeable community and acceptably good documentation?

Tcl is used in embedded applications. There are OO extensions to it, and I believe there are plans to bake in some of that functionality natively.

Most of devkits use GCC. So you can choose any language which GCC supports. Of course, there are difficulties, e.g. calling/linking library functions written in C, or lack of standard (non-C/C++) language libraries...

Ada is often used in embedded environments. I don't know how much of a community it has nowadays, but it's got a tradition of excellent documentation, and (in my humble opinion) its designers made different mistakes from the mistakes of the C family, which is refreshing.
