Since I can't vote in my own poll, my opinion is that the argument can be made any of them, but Go is the most on the nose, both in terms of language design and that it shares a co-author with C (Ken Thompson).
Python is more a modern BASIC (usually) implemented in C. It's BASIC and C had a baby.
Rust should be on this list because of how many legacy C things are getting ported to rust due to memory and thread safety, etc.
If you start from C and get less pedantic, you get python. If you get more pedantic, you get rust. If you stay similarly pedantic, you get golang.
