A more modern C

I'm looking for a C-like language that
1. keeps the pointers;
2. has generic types;
3. has better string handling than C;
4. doesn't make OOP-style for your own programs mandatory;
5. isn't C++.

Is there a better option than Go? It lacks generics.

1. C DOES DAT.
2. C HAS DEM. WAT DA FUK DO U THINK void * IS?
3. HOW DA FUK CAN U HAVE BETTER STRING HANDLING THAN C? MAYBE UR JUST TOO RETOIDED 2 KNOW HOW TO HANDLE STRINGS PROPERLY.
4. C DOES DAT.
5. C AIN'T C++.
