Once you throw out the BEAM and OTP, why not OCaml?

Seriously, I find the OCaml syntax way less obtuse than, for example, all the trait and macro idioms that I have to chop through with Rust. Sure, Rust has braces, but that doesn't make its syntax easy by any means.

Nevertheless, I am happy to see this Cambrian Explosion of programming languages. Eventually, we may get a good one.

OCaml is a good one but many find it too hard. It can be a bit alien and there are not enough jobs to justify learning it for work.

As a note, before being bootstraped, Rust was written in OCaml iirc
