Although Ooui is unorthodox, it's already reached a stage of early maturity
and it's captured the attention of Scott Hanselmen other prominent guys in
Microsoft. Although you're right - you'd be hard pushed to recommend it for
production (mind you the same can be said for JavaScript, lol).

Here's an online XAML editor written in it:

And your typical TODO appication:

I've said it previously on a different thread - I use OutSystems which is
like the VB6 for web / native mobile apps. Free for personal use - but it's
not cheap for commercial use. I was once part of a team building
large-scale software for the Navy in it - it's pretty capable.
You can get away without knowing any HTML / CSS at all - except around
certain edge cases.

If you're just trying to avoid Javascript - that's pretty easy - there are
plenty of transpilers around - some of which are excellent for large apps
in production. My picks are Dart (which Google uses very heavily, and is
very similar language to C#). It also has an interesting native mobile
application story with Flutter. And if you like function languages, I've
used Elm in production for small non-critical things - unlike JavaScript,
Elm is very stable - almost bullet-proof. And although I've not used it
myself, F#'s Fable is also capable. But you still need to know HTML+CSS for
these options; even though these languages may abstract it away, you still
need to know it to diagnose when things go wrong.
