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.
