What statically typed language with great type inference has the library ecosystem of python or javascript? I can't think of one, libraries matter a lot.

Swift looks promising in this regard.

Any .net language (C#, VB.net, F#). In term of libraries they will be hard to beat. What they will not have is cross-platform though. Microsoft just kicked off a cross platform version but surely it will take at least 5 years before there is a large cross platform ecosystem.
