If you're really that much of a language snob then you should checkout kotlin. It has seamless integration with Java and has the _best_ ergonomics I've encountered language wise.

Go can't even get it's packaging story straight and once again doesn't have generics which makes 'functional' programming a no Go;)

Generics have nothing to do with functional programming.

I actually really like Clojure (really I just love Lisp).

Go also has modules now.

Pervasive use of HOFs is kinda difficult without generics or some equivalent.
