If you're willing to go down the f# rabbit hole there's also Fable which I need to try but I've heard very good things about.

Fable is pretty nice to work with. Writing bindings is fairly trivial given typescripts influence on the front-end library landscape, and you can just yolo call things dynamically if you want.

Here's a small gist where I use fable-py to use the python prettymaps project that was posted a week ago on HN: https://gist.github.com/Banashek/1cc3d8435843bcff230906fb037...

Yeah, but F# is even worse than C# in the sense that you need really talented developers to get anywhere. Which is not a problem on personal projects, but can be for the majority of companies.

Building a company based on Fable/F# now. We're in process of taking folks with 2-3 years of react exp and teaching them Fable - it's a pretty quick transition. F# tends to attract some pretty talented developers as well.
