I mean, Crystal would be my next go-to. If you have never written Ruby (like me) the appeal isn't the Ruby-like syntax, it's just a reasonable syntax with a very pragmatic type system and niceties (like classes, which are more open to hacking / composition than in other languages). It's like Go++ in my mind.
