There really isn't any with a substantial community.

Python is good for algorithmic stuff and things that need specific libraries (tensorflow, NumPy etc)

But if you want a garbage collected language for moving bits from place to place over the network, it's kinda hard to beat Go.

Are you saying that there aren't garbage collected languages suitable for network development ("moving bits from place to place") with a substantial community except Go?

I mean, Java and all the JVM based languages comes to mind. Python, Ruby, Node.js (assuming performance isn't at the top of your list, which for many it isn't).

Go has a small community compared to all of the other popular languages.
