So, just don’t use JavaScript?
That's also my understanding: "Javascript is great because you can use other languages and then transpile them to JS."
Oh man machine language is so good, literally the best actually
JS itself is great, I prefer it to most other languages due to the flexibility that it allows. Adding types through TS to safeguard against footguns doesn't mean you're not still using JS. You can also add the types using comments instead if you prefer it, which means you're actually writing raw JS.
Yeah! Wasm is a thing. At least rust and go are pretty neat in the browser lately.
We should leave that pile of semantics and just go further with web development
I wouldn't use raw JS for anything new, yes. Typescript however is an excellent language.
