You mean you want a Javascript variant?

I'd prefer something in Rust or C#

Rust, C#, Java, Go and maybe even Erlang would suffice for modern stack and IO heavy and performant workloads.

If you are okay with Rust or C# idk why Go is an issue? Go powers most infrastructure on the internet that we rely on. Docker, Kubernetes, Hugo, Caddy, MinIO, a lot of these are used in backend services so you would never even realize you are using them but you are. I think Go is fine.

I'd prefer Rust as well, but anything with a decent type system is okay. I have bad associations with Java software, but idk if that's the language itself, or enterprise brainworns.

Anything with types. And that doesn't have "wat" videos about its behaviour.

Modern PHP is a strongly typed language, still dynamically typed, but in a way that feels more like static typing. Better than TypeScript for sure if you're not into PhD-level typing hacks, and light years ahead of Ruby, Python, JS, and their ilk.

As for "wat videos", you'll find that about anything.
