Another vote for Kotlin - it strikes just the right balances for me in the functional vs. objective and verbosity vs. readability ranges. Its connection to Java brings a huge ecosystem of tools and libraries to the table, but if you don't need those, today Kotlin can also be used without Java or the JVM. It has been my main language for work projects for over a year now and I still love the language.
