Which other languages do you suggest?

F# deserves its own category. You even get access to the .NET ecosystem for free. The developer experience is something else too.

Same applies to Common Lisp, Scheme, Scala and Clojure on the JVM/JavaScript platforms.
And Clojure also has a .NET implementation.

Ooh, a Clojure .NET implementation? This is news to me. From a quick look at the website, it looks really good... but how is it in practice? One of the major advantages of F Sharp's .NET integration is that it's developed by Microsoft, as of course they pretty much created the ecosystem from scratch.

It doesn't get that many public use cases, here's the biggest one I've seen:
http://arcadia-unity.github.io/
But it is being continuously kept up to date by Cognitect, along with active development on a clojure-clr-next version. Maybe it has a bigger population of non public users.

Also: here's another implementation of Clojure on CLR, "Morgan And Grand Iron Clojure Compiler": https://github.com/nasser/magic (see also http://nas.sr/magic/) of which there's a great cmpiler implementation talk (at Clojure/North) somewhere on Youtube.
As for the C, C++, Fortran libraries with Python bindings, any language with FFI can call into them as well.
I would say, Python's adoption while lacking performance is what is now building pressure to avoid specific Python communities to leave Python and migrate into one of those ecosystems in search of a better mix of productivity/performance, without being forced to use two languages.
