Presumably because, apart from Python (see Ruff, uv, etc) most languages aren’t running into such major issues with their own “self hosted” tooling that it’s worthwhile to rewrite several of them in a completely different language.
- mardifoufs 2y agoYes I agree! And JavaScript also isn't really at that point yet. Python is really in a class of its own here... sadly enough. Though I don't see an issue with tools for JS built without JS. It's just that I don't think that it's a bad thing for a JavaScript dev to want the ecosystem around JavaScript to be written in JS. JS is orders of magnitudes faster than python in any case.
