I agree, but would also posit a parallel The Three Pillars of JavaScript Ecosystem Bloat for example, javascript runs in a browser or on microcontrollers. you can write code that work for both natively [1]. TypeScript-- a mechanism that needs to compile first into javascript React-- a mechanism that needs to compile first into javascript Configuration-de-jour-- Depending on how you need to string your TypeScript and React together, there's a thing you need to manage your javascript managers. Vite is the best option in this field, since it recognizes exposing tools to fine tune how to optimize your resulting javascript from your typescript and react is a terrible idea that leads to mass fragmentation on a global scale for what it even means to "spin up a js project" In conclusion, is javascript a compile target like assembly or a language that people can handcode to eek performance out of like assembly?
