"14 Years of Go" by Rob Pike
I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

Ask HN: Interest in a Rust-Inspired Language Compiling to JavaScript?
I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?
For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

Nim
FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this:
> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
You better off with using a compiled language.
If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).
And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

Mojo is now available on Mac
Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.
Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).
But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.

Plans for Nim bindings for Godot 4
Since Godot 4 is gonna change their binding system the previous Nim bindings are not gonna work and the maintainers stated that they wont adapt the bindings to Godot 4.

Programming a Rogue-Like with Rust
Another option is Nim. Looks and writes like Python but closer to C in performance. It also has static typing so I prefer it for scripting as well.
People have built a few games with the Nim Godot bindings:

There’s also an interesting project to do hot reloading using dlls:

Inky: Isolation. A 90 minute game built with Enu, Nim and Godot
Enu is a 3D live-programming/learning/game development environment written in Nim using Godot 3, godot-nim, and godot_voxel. I use it to run a small local coding club with a group of 12 year olds, and think it is (or at least will be) a great tool for learning to code, and for making games quickly.

Is Nim right for me?
It uses a python-like language, is free & open-source (MIT License), has a fantastic GUI creation system, exports to all major OS's, and produces single small binaries. You could eventually incorporate Nim as well, as there are Nim bindings for Godot.
- How can I understand what "bindings to" libraries really do?
-
FYI, you can use Rust as a native scripting language
Ant then install the bindings. And thats where I'm a bit lost even after reading Godot docs. Not sure if I'm right, but seems to be necessary to compile Godot?

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):
* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell
* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.
* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue
* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim
* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=
* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!
* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!
Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

Frustrating ergonomics of GDNative in 3.3 -- are these addressed for 4.0?
As for gdnim, it's my framework built on top of godot-nim. https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim-stub

PR for cross-language script class support is testable! (`class_name` feature for GDScript, VisualScript, C#, and NativeScript)
I've renewed my enjoyment of programming through game development (an area I haven't been active in before) and had a great time implementing a Quadtree in GDScript but then the other problem of raw execution speed for any script language made that a bit disappointing as well (it worked well but was only an improvement for larger numbers). So now I'm learning Nim (which has godot-nim bindings) to be able to write really performant code in an easy way.
What are some alternatives?
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
gdnim - godot-nim based bootstrapping framework supporting hot reloading
go - The Go programming language
pixie - Full-featured 2d graphics library for Nim.
Odin - Odin Programming Language
nvim-treesitter-textobjects
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
nlvm - LLVM-based compiler for the Nim language
crystal - The Crystal Programming Language
enu - A Logo-like 3D environment, implemented in Nim
v - Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io
httpbeast - A highly performant, multi-threaded HTTP 1.1 server written in Nim.
