I've been wondering the same myself... I want: - reliable scripts::in my case this means strong typing. Because for example currently to see the exit status of a program one need to check the exit number 0 or non zero plus the string for the command. - crosplatform:: this eliminates interpreted languages like ruby and python - easy to interact with the environment :: is something that like bash can actually call programs installed on the computer. As the song says: "But I still... haven't found... what I'm looking for."

Go might be a decent choice. It’s basically python, but with reasonable type and error handling. It still has other python-style problems, like epic dependency graphs, with all the compatibility and bitrot nightmares those imply.

I recommended Node in another comment, but if you want typing I'd recommend Deno. Similar reasons, but add the fact that you get type checks without a build step.
