D Language accepted for inclusion in GCC

I don't think a "better Python" can be statically typed - dynamic typing, and all the associated runtime tricks that you can do with it, is kinda part of what makes Python distinctive (whether for good or bad, opinions differ there).

Go has this "interface" thing which lets you do duck-typing, and it's checked at run-time, as the types in Python.

This is consumer-side duck typing. Python also provides producer-side duck typing - you can make any of your objects a duck dynamically, by making them behave like a duck at runtime. I'm not aware of anything similar in Go wrt interfaces.
