gollark: JS is what you get if you put 100 language designers in a room, remove the language designers and add a bunch of monkeys with typewriters and DVORAK keyboards, and then bring the actual language designers back but force them to stick with what the monkeys wrote and only make small changes and tack on extra features after the fact, and also the language designers don't agree with each other most of the time.
gollark: Using TS means many of the errors JS wouldn't really catch except at runtime are much easier to deal with.
gollark: I like JS from an ease of development perspective, if not really a language design one.
gollark: The main thing with web is that you don't need to install anything or compile for different platforms, it just runs in a convenient browser sandbox and on basically anything modern.
