Strange that you dismiss Java due to its JVM dependency, yet pause at C# disregarding its CLR dependency. C# does not strictly require you to write your code with OOP principles in mind. Yes there are classes, properties, inheritance, etc. but you can treat those as purely organizational and write in a more functional style. Regardless, Rust seems like a solid choice here, but I wouldn't discount Go (golang). It's incredibly simple to write and read code in and its runtime is incredibly rock solid. I have web services written in Go that have literally never crashed of their own accord.
