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.

May I ask why? Do notation is usually more than enough for the imperative parts.
