    Seems like a “haha JS bad” kind of joke, but OP seems to forget that Python is also in a similar boat.

      JS at least has Typescript to mitigate most of its problems, but mypy leaves a lot to be desired.

          Nah, just slow.

          But it has a ridiculously big library and is easy to write. A lot of libraries are also written in C, so the slowness drawback doesn’t even apply in some cases.
