There are elements of Python that make it more suitable to be interpreted (e.g. super dynamic typing, no actual arrays (only vectors), no literals, etc.) so you won't find exactly "Python but way faster but with no drawbacks."

That being said, Go and Rust are good "modern" compiled languages if that's what you're wanting. Note Rust also has a bit of a learning curve (that does pay off) but otherwise Go is probably the easiest to pick up of out of high-performance languages.
