I wish there was a language that is to JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/Lua what Rust is to C++/C/Java.

I'm not personally familiar with it, but I think you want to take a look at Elixir. I've heard it often in the same vein as Rust but for web. Not exactly the same, but in terms of a high-quality language.

Do you mean like a scripting language that is brand new and doesn’t have a ton of historical warts?
I guess AssemblyScript would fit that requirement. It's essentially TypeScript without the historical Javascript compatibility warts:
