Yeah I feel you on the garbage collection. You familiar with Rust at all? Its a really nice no GC systems language and even has structs instead of objects, and is becoming quite trendy

Rust is probably next on my list, after Typescript. I really don't think I'm going to like Typescript at all, but it's all over the place now and I have a JS-based project I can convert

I spun up a web server in Rust for a little personal project to learn, it was quite pleasant to code (and is quite fast!), if you like C and hate JS, I think you'll dig Rust. JS is an abomination (and a serious privacy and security risk) but entirely unavoidable. I appreciate the TS addition of static typing, but its still like putting lipstick on a pig.

I don't hate JS, but I do hate the fact that a bunch of script kiddies who didn't want to learn another language have promoted JS into this thing that has tentacles far outside the browser (Node, React Native, etc.).
