What are you aiming to build? Without any additional detail I can say Elixir fits your criteria but may not be what you actually need! It's beginner friendly in my experience, cross-platform, and is a functional programming language which I'd put in the pros column for beginners.

My main goal is to create a couple of applications. I'm not a big fan of web dev. I want to write for Windows and Linux.
