By comparison, JavaScript (and by extension, TypeScript) is still lacking fundamental features and the library ecosystem situation is pretty bad.
I wish there was a modern language that took all the good non-manual-memory-management things from Rust and added a GC and some immutable data structures. Error handling, enums, macros (with compile_error! / diagnostics API), traits / approach to OOP, embedded tests, doctests and the relentless determination to add examples in the docs in general... Everything in Rust feels like "oh, they got this right too", which hasn't been the case for any other typed lanuage I've used in the past 15 years (including typescript, my previous favorite; purescript; go; haskell)
