Clojurescript. I used it to build an MVP proof of concept for work and now have to watch a small team re-write it using Typescript and Angular

They’re still not at feature parity with 2x the team, 2x the time and 3x the lines of code.

I love Clojure for data-related tasks, it's just better than anything else, even Python. And I love Clojure dialects for anything that talks to JS-engines - Clojurescript, nbb, squint - it's really nice to be able to use something like Puppeteer or Playwright and "interactively" click buttons, and navigate through pages in the REPL, it's like playing a video-game - super fun. And babashka is awesome for system scripting.
