I think that person made a mistake in specifically mentioning rust and zig, because those are relatively uncommonly known languages among working webdevs.
But I think you're making a mistake in assuming they mean someone should force a specific language on them. In practice nearly every working TS dev knows something else, python, ruby, elixir, yeah maybe go. They should choose one of those other languages for the tool. A specific one doesn't need to be forced on them, just the decision that it should not be TS.
- Timon3 3y agoIf you're saying "just use something else", you'll have to actually compare TS to the languages you're proposing. If for example someone were to suggest Python for a backend, I'd argue that TS is many, many times better than Python. Can you explain why TS is so very much the wrong tool in your eyes?
