Luau is statically typed and interpreted/JIT'd: https://luau.org/ https://luau.org/

  Oh, nice, I didn't know - I always thought that Luau has only type annotations and is not statically typed per se. But yeah, looked into the documentation and you can set !strict mode per script, which will cause interpreter to assert the types. Looks promising. Can you tell me how well it works in practice?

    I've only used it for small scripts and can't say how well the type system actually functions/how it scales, but what I've seen so far has pleased me. (They have a _comptime_-equivalent! https://luau.org/types/type-functions/ https://luau.org/types/type-functions/) You may be interested in https://lute.luau.org/ https://lute.luau.org/, which is a node.js-style runtime for the language.
