If you will make a big complex app, There is a simple way to fix this: use more strong languages Compile to Javascript like Elm/PureScript/BuckleScript/ScalaJs/Nim/ClojureScript(with core.specs) and so on[1].

I really like Rust personally and think it's a good option for web applications, but there's many options that are becoming available.
