Some of this is just preference at the end of the day.
I find modern Typescript to be utter spaghetti and arguably worse at the points you’ve listed here.

I find it really straightforward until lifetimes are involved. I used Rust for a few weeks last January.

Looks nice enough. How does it compare with RON? https://github.com/ron-rs/ron
More than a syntax, what I look for nowadays in a descriptive language is tooling, including a schema system, IDE plugins and library / build tool integration. Convenience makes it hard to dislodge the incumbents (toml, yaml, json).

I think UCL is probably the best of all. Wish it had more than one implementation and formal specification.

Choose one.
I kid, I kid, but Rust is not the easiest-reading language out there. It has the same problem as C++, with a syntax that's not terribly straightforward to begin with, but then it's just liberally sprinkled with nearly every bit of punctuation that can by typed with the US QWERTY layout.
