I once suffered from Javascript fatigue, had to work with frontend anyways, and had the privilege of picking my own tools.
That's when I started experimenting with Elm, Bucklescript (now ReScript) and Clojurescript. It was a very insightful journey that made me enjoy frontend development again.
Today, Clojurescript is my favorite method of working with frontend code and, as long as I can pick my own tools, that's the one I'm sticking with.
For those suffering of Javascript fatigue, I highly recommend playing around with these alternatives. Try doing a simple, small side project in them. It may reignite your joy for programing and who knows, maybe you can find a job to work full-time with these tools.
