When I was looking at the language, I didn't find the documentation "really poor". In fact I was impressed at how much of a one-stop-shop the official docs site was for both conceptual docs and API docs.

I imagine you are referring to https://rr-project.org/ ?
Had never heard of it, looks pretty amazing, I might actually enjoy debugging now!
You might like noulith, a hobby language written by the person who won several of the recent Advent of Code events.
The about on GitHub reads "slaps roof of [programming language]* this bad boy can fit so much [syntax sugar] into it."
They even used the language in the most recent event Advent of Code and won. https://github.com/betaveros/noulith
I was a professional perl5 developer for years and when working through https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/, kept remarking to myself how similar the languages are, in terms of expressiveness, complexity, and implied developer disciplines.
Rust feels like an industrial version of Perl to me.
