Have a look at dlang and nim-Lang. Both answer that

I experimented with D ~2008-ish. IMO it's definitely superior to Go. The problem is that D is probably not going to gain critical mass anymore (I expect the same for Nim). This has an impact on its future ecosystem.

Since Swift is pushed by Apple, it probably won't suffer from the same ecosystem problems.

What do you expect from a future ecosystem?

Nim has seamless integration with C as it compiles to C anyway, so there should be no concerns about that.

It's amazing that really powerful languages are never mainstream. Lisp, Ada, Ocaml, D and Nim will go their way in the future, they are just not as much in the focus of public attention as modern trends like Rust and Swift which are advertised by big organizations like Mozilla and Apple.
