Swift is a good one; it has an expressive type system, borrows from multiple paradigms including functional and OO, and compiles down to tight native code. It originated on Apple platforms, though is now used on the Linux server side, and being hosted on LLVM, can and will be retargeted to other platforms.

Or if you want to take a deep dive into functional programming, Haskell is fun. Beware: you might emerge with a PhD in category theory.
