Tons of them, but I am most interested in the following for various reasons: PureScript[1] — been around a long time. Looks a lot like Haskell to me. Derw[2] — Elm-like, interesting integration with Typescript Amber[3] — smalltalk for js Rescript[4] — its been awhile since I last looked at this project (during a catastrophic rebrand) so I'm not sure where this project is at, but it did seem very promising to me at... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I want something expressive: Python can be a bit verbose by default and isn't very good at oneliners. I want something that starts up fast, but can run a bit slower. It would be great if it had a REPL, but if compilation and/or startup are fast enough its lack would also be acceptable. The... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
LiveScript (https://livescript.net/) does this, amongst many other things (mostly CoffeeScript-inspired). I used it quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
JavaScript is an extremely elegant language. It's syntax is relatively simple and extremely flexible. This has lead to things like CoffeeScript, LiveScript, and the explosion of transpiling. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
