> some sort of "TypeScript-ish" language that, if a TS programmer plays by a stricter set of rules
This is basically just rust, no? As a TS developer, I've found picking up rust to be really neat.

That was certainly the promise/hype of Rust ~2-3 years ago, that it was going to become so ergonomic that even "boring line-of-business applications" (i.e. JS backends) could be written in Rust, by everyday programmers, without any slow down in delivery/velocity due to the language complexity.
But, from what I've seen, that's not played out, and instead the community is still on the look out for the killer "systems-language performance, but scripting-language ergonomics" language.
Dunet is really good.
