I don't know, which fields are you thinking about? I believe the 
market is changing.

On OSX/iOS: Swift + Metal is the alternative, throw in some bits 
of Objective-C/C++ where you have long running tight inner loops.

On Windows: moving away from C# sounds very risky.

On Linux: this is more of an open space.

Embedded: C/C++, maybe Rust for those with courage? I suspect 
moving out of vendor supported tooling is risky (e.g. 
system-on-a-chip solutions)

Numerics: Python + low level libraries, Matlab etc.

But, the way I see it TypeScript + "native libraries" has the 
potential for covering a lot of ground. The eco system is 
exploding.
