Golang looks like that language. it would be my go to, but why they decided to have Nil Pointers, I don't know. Golang without Nil and also mostly pass by value, and only using pass by reference for people doing lower level stuff, would've been good. for now, staying with python.

Golang is easy to get started with tooling and packaging is good. but then the code in the wild is littered with pointers for when you wouldn't need them.
