I think you're being a bit optimistic here: traditionally, the only language that has been able to do this is C++, and Rust is displacing it simply because Rust really tries to target C++ developers and their pains. But other than that I don't see much else development here. Swift has promise, but unfortunately nobody's really writing much framework or foundational code with it; at least not yet.

I'd say Object Pascal is able do it too, though it's certainly true that Pascal is not as widely used as C++. Free Pascal and Delphi are the two major Pascal implementations today:
