Hi Qasim, welcome!

There are alternatives to JS.

Elm, Reason ML with BuckleScript and TypeScript are the ones I keep hearing about but I have zero experience with either of them.

They all compile your code to JavaScript since that's the language the browsers understand.

I think you can easily build a PWA (progressive web app) with them that can be used by mobile.

If you're after a native app with one of those languages... you might probably be able to use them with React Native or something like that.
