(Can only speak for myself). I’ve a bit of a hacker. To be honest lately, I just find the languages I know are so nice and powerful (enough) that I spend time building interesting and cool things (a AC power flow solver; a networked 3D roguelike game) than hacking around with new shiny languages.
Basically I just really like TypeScript. Languages I’ve worked with or tried out for the pure hackery spirit of exploration: assembly, C, C++, Java, Ruby, Python, Clojure(script), Lisp, Elm, C# (did lots of neat stuff with that, thanks Unity!), PHP, scala, go, Pascal, VB, probably a couple more I forget. More tech stacks than I can think of.
FOR ME, TypeScript is just so good for what I want to do that I just don’t want to mess about with other tools or “spend innovation tokens”. I just wanna build stuff!
