TypeScript, and I'm absolutely loving it. So much of what I do is JS and this lets me do modern JS with many libraries and I get type safety. The only thing I can't accomplish with it, from local apps to webapps to mobile apps. I haven't used a better choice for goto language than TS. I completely understand your feeling though, I was in the same boat for a couple years till I tried TS. I also like Go and all the Python replacements. Definitely cheering on the exodus from Python3. The alternatives are all good stuff. I don't believe in 'one true god', and that god is definitely no longer Python. Py3 is a bloated mess of feature soup with no performance enhancements, they got so much wrong with it and is a case study in how to mismanage a language migration. I'd probably been onboard if they would've done a little better job. It seems the migration was for GvR and the rogue band of core devs (easier to maintain, their little pet project features) rather than the userbase that made Python what it is. They just did what was easiest for them and are pretty arrogant about it, saying they do the work so they decide. Ok, I'll use something else then with that attitude. The arguments for it are beyond silly and horribly uninformed, like "added support for unicode" is repeated ad nauseum.. I was using unicode with Python since 2.6. I can't tell if people really are that uninformed or lying to promote Python3. It was just already too big to do what they did and how they did it. But I'm not going to debate that with anyone, happily using TypeScript now and never looking back. It runs faster on V8 than Python ever will and I'm able to do almost everything you could do in plain JS with it. Which is a significant array of tasks. Otherwise, while I reach for TS first all the time now, thinking about getting into Rust for its C ABI and performance for a reusable library idea that I have. TS/Rust is a potent combo and covers an astonishing amount of ground (and does it well). Both of them are very practical.
