Maybe "absolutist" would have been the better word, but yes - it is always down to context, which was my point: the language the person I was replying to, sounded to me like there is good tech and bad tech independent from context. "And I truly believe all this mindset of "you can do your project in ANY tech and it won't make a difference" " But this sounds a bit like strawman, I never heard anyone ever making that claim. Of course it makes all the difference which tech you choose for the job. Rust is supposed to be good, but no (sane) person would try to script a website with it. I mean you can use it and compile it to wasm and for big web applications that might even make sense - but for a really simple website I also would not even use typescript, but plain ugly javascript. No complex toolchain, no compiling, no transpiling - and allmost anyone can understand immmediately, what is going on and how to change something. But sure, if you put stupid people in charge, they will use "simple javascript" where it is just too simple and make everything harder as a result, but this is hardly the fault of javascript. (oh btw. today I learned that the James Webb Telescope runs javascript internally as a scripting language .. but without details, I will not judge here)
