There was a time in my life when I made up my mind to be a programmer, I had a very big problem deciding which technology to learn.

My observations:
Learning TypeScript makes it simple to pick up on C# and Javascript.
With C# and Blazor, Javascript is not needed. Wasm just may become a disrupter.
Traditional back ends written in C# or Java can be fully replaced with microservices which run in TypeScript or Javascript.
The common denominator is Javascript but TypeScript gives a more broad range of skills.
If I were just starting I'd pick TypeScript then Javascript followed by C#. Why C#? It's far more advanced than Java and has built in Wasm support.
Java is more popular in large enterprise, so my 4th choice is Java.
My impression was, TypeScript is rather hard if you don't know JavaScript.
It's basically a static type checker for JS, so not knowing about the idiosyncrasies of JS makes seem TypeScript kind of weird.
True if coming with no static language experience. TypeScript and C# use exact same concepts. C# people get TypeScript immediately.
Good point.
The reason, I was anti TS for a long time was exactly that, it was too close to C# for my taste.
I'd have preferred that ReScript would have won and we now had something more functional, but whelp. TS it is, and it's better than nothing.
Yes Javascript people appear to be fiercely loyal to it, despite it's history of slow improvement. Things are better now for sure.
I started with C programming at school, and when I went to university and they tried to sell me Java and C++ it all felt quite cumbersome. C was much simpler.
Then I discovered JavaScript and had this feeling of efficiency again, not in terms of performance, but simply in coding.
TypeScript felt a bit like people tried to push the heavyweight OOP stuff of C++/Java into JavaScript again, that's why I didn't like it. But when I used it for some things, I got the impression it's vastly different from those heavyweight languages, so I gave it a try.
And I have to say it's really much better than I imagined it.
One month ago I was looking for a job as ReactJs Dev. I stopped myself when I saw for each job post there was 30 interested people! I've never seen anything like that: on the past there was two or three candidates for job!
Lolz, it's even worse now.
I'm surprised you've discarded Go. It reigns supreme in the cloud development and is surprisingly easy to learn. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone starting their web dev path.
I think Zig is better for c replacement not rust
