Typescript is great for what it is but it's still tacked onto a bad language and ecosystem IMO.
Personally I'd start new projects in .NET Core in either C# or F#.
.NET ecosystem is solid as fuck and C# isn't bad for an OOP language. I wish F# was more supported though, it's a great language but the tooling and ecosystem is a bit lacking, although you can just use any .NET library but you're gonna be writing a lot of glue code.
I agree that C# is a great language, but I actively work to avoid the .NET runtime for reasons that may at this point be largely historical; first impressions and all.
I'd have loved to keep the project in Rust if the tools had been up to snuff, or we'd been able to get compile times down, but that wasn't in the cards. I'd also have loved to use Go (another great language without OOP). But, in the end we decided that it was much more important to choose a language where we had the best chance of getting more devs. and the tools were. mature enough that we could make smart decisions
This is completely getting. any language where {} / [] === NaN ->true is... a trash heap. why couldn't the web run of lua? that at least would have been the same style of Lang without as many problems.

Yeah I get it, I'm not saying it's a bad choice, developer availability is a pretty big factor, I'm just salty as fuck that Javascript got so popular.
