I don't agree with OP, there's nothing wrong with JS but I think the reason langs like JS and Typescript always top these lists of popular languages is they're the only viable options right now for client side web development.
- cersa8 4y agoI disagree. My entire backend is written in Typescript and maintenance and feature development pace is incredible. It's been this way for years now and I cannot see myself switching to Go or Java anytime soon.
- marlowe221 4y agoYou're both right
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoThe pace is only "incredible" if you've never spent a year using a truly productive back-end language like Ruby, Elixir, or to a lesser degree PHP or Python. Golang and Java are both tilted more towards performance and enterprise-friendliness than dev productivity and JS/TS are in the middle of the spectrum.
