    To be perfectly fair, unless you count WASM or other compiles-to-JS-but-not-quite-native langs (which, outside TS, are pretty niche), this is the case with literally every language except JS.

      > unless you count WASM or other compiles-to-JS-but-not-quite-native langs As a happy user of clojurescript, or seeing the popularity and adoption rate of typescript, I do not count them out.

        JavaScript and it’s variants are 1st place for the browser (shoe in on a technicality) ... but like 213th for everything else.

        Not counting them out either, but outside TS, they're still quite marginal, at best.
