I hate them all... But I like the looks of Go, just wish it hade the properties of Rust. And I don't mind Python for scripting. And I know too much and too little C++ for my own good.

I love Go precisely because of its simplicity which also makes it highly consistent across different codebases. That said I do like the new direction of adding some features devs are clamoring for with helper functions and memory arenas.
