I can't really directly answer your question as I'm looking for pretty much the same—a language like Rust, just easier to use. I could imagine that being a language that transpiles to Rust so I sometimes head over to https://lib.rs https://lib.rs to see what's new in the space. Other than that I'm these days only mildly interested in languages that do not compile to WASM or transpile to JS because NodeJS and the browser have become my main platforms. IMO browsers offer an unprecedented way to develop GUIs for applications. People are unhappy with the perceived bloat of it but there's a web browser on almost each single consumer-facing (i.e. non-backend / server) machine these days and those things have become very, very capable. I just feel deprived of something when I go back to, say, Python. I'm not very interested in TypeScript anymore b/c for the troubles and the benefits that typing gives you I want to have a solution that works at run time and ideally at compile time, too—I'd rather forgo the latter but not the first b/c of user input validation. Having to entertain that whole fancy and complex beast that is a good type system only to not be able to use it for run time checks is not what I want. Just a few thoughts.
