Try Kotlin or Swift. Both are statically typed, but with a lot of syntactic conveniences and type inference to lessen the verbosity.

Another vote for Kotlin. I find it to be at the sweet spot of expressiveness and safety. Also has an official to-JS compiler.

Have you put it through any rigorous development? Any pain points?
