TypeScript
JavaScript with labels on the data, so mistakes are caught while the code is being written instead of after it ships.
Definition
TypeScript is not a separate language so much as a safety layer over JavaScript. You state that a price is a number and a customer has an email, and the editor refuses the code the moment something contradicts that. On a large system this is the difference between a typo being a five second correction and a Saturday night incident.
