This is neat. Who is making the most interesting (and realistically viable, ie not just a research lang) language in this space? Eg, for me (! no language wars intended.. oof) there is:

1. Rust for if i want something C++-esque. Rich stdlib & crates, i love it. My primary language for everything.

2. Zig for if i need C. Interesting language, but i can't speak from personal experience. Seems to be gaining a lot of traction, makes nice choices, feature rich in the right places, etc.

3. ??? for when i want Python.

I'm asking about #3. Who (if anyone?) is making an attempt at "new and better Python"?

.. and yes i know, all these languages i mentioned, including Python, are not dead, are loved by millions, and are all very productive. My statements are not implying that they are anything but amazing. Please don't yell at me :)
