Typescript, C#, Go, Rust.

I'd say they are almost strictly superior to Python, but there are some minor factors why you might still choose Python over those. E.g. arbitrary precision integers, or the REPL. Go is a bit tedious and Rust is harder to learn (but productive once you have).

But overall they would all be a better choice than Python. Yes even for startups who need to move fast.
