Go is probably the best candidate for a safer and faster python. However, if i had to choose only one statically typed language to learn that would be Java. The language is super popular, the tooling is great. There are tons of learning resources and books. It's used by big tech companies(amazon, google etc) for some serious engineering work. It opens up the door to the jvm world where you can also explore languages like kotlin, scala and clojure.
