Go is an excellent contrast. Not only is the syntax spartan, but--especially if you include the built-in formatter gofmt--it has a fascist insistence on a uniform coding style. I don't agree with all its stylistic decisions, but I'd rather live with them and have consistency than run into corner cases and gotchas.
Compare with Go, where you can easily read the whole spec and keep the whole language in your head: http://golang.org/ref/spec
