If you need to do graphql in typescript, you still "learning a new language". If you're using Prisma or you doing css-in-js, or rxjs, or tRPC, or Cypress, you're still "learning a new language".
You're basically moving from having to understand one (seemingly arbitrarily composed) syntax to another (seemingly arbitrarily composed) syntax. While I learned Clojure syntax once, and now only have to learn paradigms and techniques - logic, pattern-matching, concurrency, reactive dataflow, polymorphic dispatch, metaprogramming, event-driven programming, state management, etc. etc.
My hope is that I never have to use TypeScript, Go, or Rust daily since Clojure already gives me everything I need to write programs. It simply makes much better sense for the type of programs I'm writing today. Someday that may change, but I doubt that any of those would suddenly start making better sense to use. It probably will be something else, not these.
