Modern systems language?

(Spoiler: There isn't one)

C and Sepples are more trouble than they're worth. Pascal is basically a better-and-yet-somehow-worse version of C. Ada is basically a better-and-yet-many-times-more-verbose version of C++.

I don't think I need to say what C++ is.

Go will never be good. Python will never be good.

Is there a language that's good that I don't know about?

Inline functions are kind of nice, but lack of generic functions is more of a nuisance.

Lisp

Go is garbage collected and object oriented, making it worse than C rather than better. On the other hand, at least it doesn't have inheritance.

C is an incremental improvement over ASM in a number of ways. Isn't there also a language that makes incremental improvements over C without becoming less useful as a systems language?

Thirty years ago you would have scoffed at me for choosing C over ASM, so I don't see why this question is so hard to understand.
