I suspect something went wrong here with Typescript not being mentioned as a favourite. My own recollection is that when discussions of favourite programming languages come up, Typescript is often one of the top contenders, and it's extremely rare for people to prefer Javascript of all languages.
Perhaps this is folding Javascript in with Typescript.
People don’t talk about typescript. They’re busy getting shit done.
I say this as someone who likes Rust very much and gets paid for Typescript.
They're busy figuring out which "severe" npm warnings are actually severe :P
Note I didn’t say I like typescript, only rust ;)
