I hope that we'll see a raise of crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) and a serious progress in mypyc (https://github.com/python/mypy/tree/master/mypyc) which provide a nice middle ground.

Similarly Nim (https://nim-lang.org/).

I hope to see Jon Blow's Jai lang released. He's a bright guy who's been griping about performance for years and decided to do something about it. The language has lots of cool features like a way to "compose structs" as well as declare a structure AOS or SOA and have it just work. He's doing private betas and writing a game in it, so by the time it's done, it should be pretty solid. Complies >100k LOC in <1s last I checked.
