Come on, Typescript is more modern than C#. It's just started to being bloated a little bit since there are advanced type operators against structural typings. Or if you have to use a modern example, languages like Scala or Rust are more like it.

Also guaranteed compile + runtime is not what C# is. Probably Haskell is more closer.

Typescript is certainly newer than C#. So are Scala and Rust. Modernity and novelty are two different things, though.

Scala was released within a couple years of c#. Typescript and Rust were a decade later.
