I feel like Go has a similar role to Java. Although it's mercifully free of inheritance and the functional stuff they've bolted on.

Rust has a similar role to C++ but reads more like Python and Elixir's lovechild.

Yeah Go is a new Java essentially. Also arguably it's a much better alternative because of static linking and no JIT

		Oh I don't know. It's a vision of java if java tried to supplant C and not C++. I guess jit is bad for a micro service that scales constantly or a lambda. But java does have all of these options now. They just are not useful for most people.
