> To have to switch from that to Javascript feels like a big step back in developer happiness. That's why we use TypeScript. I've been using Python for well over a decade and despise Javascript. TypeScript is incredible. React is pure goodness. React + TypeScript is really cool to work with and doesn't feel like a step back in dev happiness. Of course I miss the Python ecosystem there, but the JS ecosystem itself is improving thanks to Facebook mostly (yarn...). At this point the main complaint I have in that ecosystem is the three layers of transpiling which are causing backtraces to be unreadable. Also, I'm unhappy about Python's half-assed move towards not-really-static typing. Optional typing is, and has always been, where it's at. Did I mention I love typescript?
