What is a bit sad is that JS and TS both get in the way of the development of something more sensible to replace it. I had hoped that WASM would make application development for the browser a bit more sane. I had hoped that someone would create an application framework for a sane, strongly typed, mainstream, compiled language that has decent tooling. With compiler and dynamic loading as part of the runtime.
JS is a garbage language. You need only look at identity or all the stupid asymmetries in the language to realize it isn't a well designed language. TS tries to fix that, and good job for doing that, but you can't escape the fact that it is desperately trying to fix a pig with lipstick, botox and hold-in pantyhose.
