Javascript and Typescript replacements.

Started learning Clojure / ClojureScript and keeping an eye on ML languages like ReScript and ReasonML.

I wish soon I'll be able to never write JS/TS code again.

Take a look at haxe[0] for a compile-to-js ML inspired language. It's relatively mature these days and integrates with existing typescript definitions via dts2hx[1]

In a similar vein, Fable (an F#-to-JS compiler) is gaining a lot of momentum in the F# community. https://fable.io/
