If you have not done it already, I recommend that you give Lua a try. There's a "Learn Lua in 15 minutes" thing that you might like.

To me, Lua feels like "Javascript done right". I only find the `end` syntax very annoying to write.

Exactly. I learned Javascript after Lua, and it was pretty similar, except a bunch of clearly worse design choices, and a pile of complexity mostly related to the web platform. (Why is this magical? Why aren't returns symmetrical to inputs? Why are the semicolons and other syntax so silly? Where are the cooperative coroutines? Why are the types and conversions so much more complicated without adding any additional value? Why all the extra ceremony around what is fundamentally the same prototype OOP system? Etc, etc.)

Yes, except for 1 based indexing.

Configure your editor to do it for you, just like most people do for closing braces.

Then you'll just have an annoying editor and an annoying language.
