Depends. If we're talking about high performance, yet expressive language without a steep learning curve, I say Swift. The only major drawback right now is lack of pure Swift AWS SDK. And unfortunately, AWS team has no plans to write one, yet.

I think any of the JVM languages like Java, Kotlin, Clojure, Scala, Eta, etc.

The JVM as far as I know is still the runtime king, faster then Go.
