Unfortunately this familiarity trap is the driving force around user interface design. Due to familiarity we got C, C++, Java, C#, ORM, Typescript.

And while typically the language is chosen early on and the company forms around it, the context here is with Typescript and this very much can come through as a push onto the majority of existing devs (hiring to Typescript for replacement of those who choose to leave). My example of Haskell was not realistic but used as it is my parallel to what javascript devs would be going through.
