Rust or some other good language should be the future of your software instead of just using it to prop up your JS/TS layer cake of spaghetti. I get that many

Rust or some other good language should be the future of your software instead of just using it to prop up your JS/TS layer cake of spaghetti.
I get that many feel like it's sunk cost etc but every day I use the TS stack I lose a little bit of love for programming. Not to mention the huge chunks of motivation that get eaten up by yet another bullshit "build" system issue, or sourcemaps not working after upgrading X or Y or tsserver getting confused or Babel macro plugin garbage, etc.
Especially having worked with Rust, Kotlin, etc that you know.. work the way you would expect them to - hell, Java feels refreshing after Typescript.
I miss just writing code with tools that work well. Especially on the server where there is really no reason to ever use Typescript and yet everyone seems to think it's a wonderful idea and I'm the crazy one for suggesting there are better options.
