Pyright is neat but the CLI output makes me want to poke my eyes.

I agree. I'm sure many people do in the committee even. Unfortunately C++ can't introduce breaking changes even though now we know better. I wish D or a similar (sane) native language gained some real momentum, since C++ is a "lost cause" in this regard (I can't deny that the new standards make it much nicer, the problem is the baggage that is called backwards compatibility).

You should checkout Go (http://golang.org/). It is more popular than D on github and has a lot of momentum.

Why the down votes. The poster asked for "sane" native languages with momentum? I gave him a suggestion that met his needs and made no false claims...

You recommended a garbage collected language that doesn't even have generics as a replacement for C++.

When it really matters- Nothing makes you use the GC... You can use a your own pool (or in tip sync.Pool) or mmap and your own allocator...

I used to do a lot of C#/C++/Java and after two years of Go... I don't miss generics. Go has been a great C++ replacement for me...
