Claiming css-in-js and TS are best practices is incorrect. However, claiming there's momentum behind these technologies is correct.

TS, in my opinion, is the new Java. It'll build a massive pile of horrible codebases that future developers will have to maintain. It's an opportunity as well as a curse 😅. Pure FP languages with clear FFI are better for guaranteeing the correctness of apps.

I've worked extensively with existing codebases in both Java, Typescript and Javascript. Your claim that Typescript is the new Java is just a little bit ridiculous tbh... If you want to make such a crooked comparison, Typescript is more comparable to C# than Java. The pile of horrible codebases you talk about, I've seen them but they were all in Javascript.
