Without diving into completely obscure programming languages, you can look at Scala, F#(doesn't scale super great ime), or I guess golang.

That said, they all don't give you what rust gives you and have their own troubles.

The truth is, either you care about life times and ownership, or you really don't care much about speed and correctness. Not saying that targeted at you as a person, but the royal "you". Even in c/c++ I have to think about that stuff, there's just no tools for it .

Fwiw you can import crates to have a gc in rust. To me it defeats the purpose. Wishing you the best on your search

What makes you think that F# doesn’t scale? Anything you can do in (say) C# you can do in F#?
