@b4ux1t3 #Crystal is not very popular, but worth a shot. Some people could point at #Nim as well. There was a time #Kotlin could be natively statically compiled, but I don't think JetBrains maintains this.
From the museum you could try #Ada or #Fortran - modern one is supposedly very nice language (I haven't tried).

I like Kotlin's approach to multi-platform targeting (e.g., JS, WASM, Native) more than I like Scala's.
Scala has a big standard library, which also depends on Java's library. So the approach was to reimplement a significant chunk of Java's stdlib for JS and native, with all the baggage. Kotlin's approach was much lighter.
On a recent toy project, for the same code, the compiled production binary's size is:
‣ Scala.js —159K
‣ Kotlin/JS — 44K

I am very lucky to be working as a freelancer on a project that I love & use in all my apps: #TelemetryDeck.
Recently, I've had the pleasure of contributing my own ideas to the project. Today, I'm happy to introduce a new feature that's been long awaited: Duration Signals!

It started with a simple question at a Kotlin meetup last year: "Wouldn't it be great to actually see how our Koin dependencies connect?"
