Wow! That's well written :-) I'm from a Java background. For a long time, I detested learning JS primarily because I felt the language had too many loopholes and Typescript was sorta the answer to most of the language goofups that happened. Also, I would say until I moved to mgmt I viewed one language as a holy grail of things. But when I did become an engineering manager, I could see things in a much broader perspective. I understood that technology is an enabler for solving business problems and each piece of tech has their own set of strengths and weakness. It is for important for us to understand them and choose them wisely for the use case that needs to be solved. Unfortunately, I realised this almost a decade later. I cringe especially when people over-engineer things for the sake of learning new technologies. For e.g. I've seen several architects directly pitch in Kafka for a simple messaging system which even an Active MQ would suffice. The worst part is that they justify the decision by throwing the word scalability in the mix. Sorry for digressing. It is good to enjoy a good conversation after a long time. Thank you for your comments.I enjoyed reading them.
