Typescript is one of the most popular languages in the world at this point and continuing to grow (see Stack Overflow developer survey for the last 3 years). It covers the majority of the mature ecosystem on npm by now. Characterizing it as a trend is beyond incorrect. For all intents and purposes, JS is now statically typed.

And it's nowhere near of getting there (outside of SV/hip development world). https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0n50hxv,%2Fm%2F02p97&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0n50hxv,%2...

- jcparkyn 3y agoI don't think that's a fair metric. Many people using TS (myself included) will typically use "JavaScript" in search queries because the answer is usually the same. The only time I search for "typescript" is if I have a problem with the type checking, which isn't very often. That said, I think you're right that JS is still quite popular.
