Try Go. Go is really stable as a language and have a very small core feature set.

This is easily the most appealing thing to me about Go. I learned Go through the "Learn Go with Tests" way and I had a ton of fun.

It is hard for me to recommend using Go internally since .NET/Java are just as performant and have such a mature ecosystem, but I crave simplicity in the core libraries.

.NET/Java are only as performant as Go if you completely ignore memory usage and focus only on time.

I would be a huge fan of go, but json is just too big a hassle to deal with in go compared to JavaScript.

Go is an excellent language for people who turned off C# or Typescript, for better or worse.

That's not me, and I use it. I like TS, but in the browser. It has not much use elsewhere, certainly not in the backend. Go is not only simple and stable, it's quite flexible, has a good eco-system, a wonderful build system, and is really fast and light at runtime.
