    ⭐️ A friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems!

    So what do you recommend? Rust? JS? TS? Java? C++?

    I'd not recommend Scala for other reasons: being multi paradigm makes it hard to learn, read, re-read and collaborate on. Kotlin would be a more sensible choice on the JVM imho (no implicit nulls, fully OO at the core with FP where it makes sense in that context, sum-types, exhaustiveness checks, no exception/annotation frenzy like Java).

    And Erlang misses types. Gleam[1] looks cool, and seems to be picking up steam.

    Rust is an amazing choice if you need that kind of low-level control over performance in all it's dimensions (except built times).
