I think Go is currently the best replacement for Python. Static type system seems to help a lot, also Go is slightly boring to write. One would say it's a bad thing but all those "if err != nil {" give something pretty valuable - the visibility of all the error-handling execution paths to the reader of the code. Also, being boring to write means you seek ways not to write so much, which is also good :)
