    Clojure and Ruby.

    While Ruby had it's 5 minutes of fame /w Rails, I think it's the language with very nice community and very bright future with Ruby 3. Not even mentioning other options like truffle and GraalVM.

    Clojure is probably a real underdog here, since it's lisp-inspired (I won't call it true lisp descendant because it has it's differences compared to Lisps), but it's running on JVM which is big advantage compared to anything else. You can do a lot of stuff with it. And it is best programming experience I've had. It is such a nice language, so pragmatic and expressive. But it has it fair share of problems alongside community and Cognitect, that's just a story on its own.
