shell

On Unix, you might try Nim (https://nim-lang.org) with https://github.com/Vindaar/shell and there are a slew of pipeline-y/Unix-y utilities over at https://github.com/c-blake/bu Nim is statically typed and (generally) native-compiled, but it has very low ceremony ergonomics and a powerful compile-time macro/template system as well as user-defined operators (e.g., you can use `+-` to make a constructor for uncertain values so that `9 +- 2` builds a typed object as in https://github.com/SciNim/Measuremancer .

Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!): * Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell * Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library. * Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue * Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim * Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort= * Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C
