I'm not a big fan of Go. It seems like a regression compared to other

You just listed some of its best features :)
It /is/ a step back from the type-obsessiveness of trad obj oriented
programming to something much easier to do.
What I find exciting is now IBM have ported LLVM to z/OS they can
easily port all of these languages to z/OS.
This too is very interesting. The only thing holding z/OS programmers
from more modern coding fun is reticence.
If nothing less orthodox appeals to one, LE C/C++ is very nicely done.
