Numbers are inflated not by choice but by force. Node is not a choice but a consequence of frontend heavy work. And JavaScript was made good using typescript by the guy who also created C#.

Same goes with Python with its data science and ML/AI background.

And the general malus is Microsoft as a company.

In summary: it is not the tech. It is the landscape.



TS is still much more annoying to use than monotonically typed systems like dotnet, and it's also much less safe.

TS drags JS into the world of modern languages, but it's not good enough IMO.
