Typescript with all strict checks turned on. You get all the good parts of JS with types, and (almost) none of the bad ones.
It's quite an expressive language with tons of quality of life features that I constantly miss from other languages.
Honestly for web/backend dev in 2023: Typescript for 90% of things, Go or Rust for anything else that needs to eek out that extra bit of performance.
I occasionally write the odd bash script, but really that's just a novelty way to mix things up half the time
