Overall TypeScript is a good idea but I get frustrated with the nuances of using an arrow function so you can access this.that and this.otherThing outside of the scope. There's also a bit of React in the brew so you're dealing with async, await, and Promises. My goto is C. I'm not fond of C++ although I use it. It suffered from a bunch of academic book writers who felt compelled to use all the features so you spend your time writing subsets of Animal so Cat goes meow and Dog goes woof. I haven't seen the latest edition but in the first edition Stroustrup uses all that crap very sparingly. C# isn't bad. Doing COM with C++ is a pain in the ass and C# abstracts a lot of the pain away. It's all there under the syntactic sugar but I've reached the point where the thrill of dealing with it is long gone.
