I often think of languages like Haskell that could offer the clarity and expressiveness and the static types I want, but the developer experience and killer software (react, phoenix, rails) has just never been there.

TypeScript to me is the compromise I'm willing to settle on. It is also lackluster from many aspects but day by day it gets a bit easier.

If you haven't already found it, you should look into IHP (https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/). It aims to build the convenience of Rails on top of Haskell's powerful type system. I've not yet built anything serious in it, but I've been following its progress, and it's looking really good so far.
