I see you mentioned JS, but not TS. If you haven't tried TypeScript, you 100% should! It helps a lot at scale.
Also, I really do recommend Rust. It's pretty awesome having the errors actually make sense, and it's not as complicated as the hype makes it out to be (until you get into async rust lol).
As others have mentioned, C# is also awesome.
We do use TS as well, yes!
Rust is definitely a language I'm considering. Syntax looks a bit scary, though!
Syntax isn't the scary part - it's the concepts. You need a decent understanding of the hardware to make sense of the language rules. Rust has a lot of high-level abstractions (like other modern languages and unlike C). But they don't deviate from what the hardware limitations dictate.
Rust syntax is totally fine really. It often feels like writing python
