Wanted: a language that is similarly easy to work with as JS, has automatic memory management, has similar (or better) performance, and whose code can be embedded in codebases in arbitrary other languages (including C/C++) with minimal integration overhead.
(Note: *all* of the properties must be satisfied. "Most" properties isn't useful here!)
@owl Thanks, hadn't heard of this one before!
I'm not a fan of the syntax and semantics at first glance (bad experiences with readability of single-paradigm strictly-functional languages...) but it does indeed seem to otherwise match what I'm looking for, so I'll give it a closer look anyway.
