Pony is a relatively young but interesting language with capabilities-security.

If you're looking for stuff pushing the boundaries of PL research, Agda (especially Cubical Agda) might be cool to look at. It's got lots of cutting edge stuff in it, pushing the boundaries of what is currently possible with dependent type theory. It's not the only language out there with cubical features (see also: cooltt), but it's probably one of the more fleshed-out implementations in terms of being practically useful. The 1Lab makes heavy use of it. There's also Introduction to Univalent Foundations of Mathematics with Agda that might be interesting to look at too!

I'd also recommend checking out Koka and Effekt which are doing cool things with effect systems. You can see more languages in this space in this bibliography. Effect systems are pretty exciting as they can be used as an alternative to async/await (see the work on Multicore OCaml, for example).

Mergify
Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.
