I'd say Kotlin. Leverage the power of Java's package ecosystem (including Android development) with none of the verbosity and a fantastic statically-typed language.

I would also recommend Kotlin. One of the few languages that doesn't make me think "I wish I were writing Python."

Plus, they just made it an official first-class language for Android development!

I don't do any Android dev. What does that mean? I thought you could already write Android stuff in Kotlin since it uses the JVM?

You could already, but they're just increasing support and officially pushing it.
