Many programmers don't get a choice in the language they have to use. Or they don't get a choice in the language they learn first. In either case, it is best to steel-man the case for the language you're using at any given time. Ideally, you should do this once for a language with explicit types (e.g. C++/Rust), once for a language with dynamic/implicit types (e.g. JS, Python3) and maybe once for a gradual typing system like TypeScript. Then you can appreciate which tool to use and when, rather than getting distracted by strange religious notions about how "this language is better than that one". It also prevents you from forcing conventions the language doesn't align well with, and that if you're going to _try_ to do so - you should do so gradually and very carefully.
