Yeah I’m not sure I agree with you. Spinning up a web server in Node.js using Koa takes minutes. You don’t need TypeScript or anything else really.
Everyone talks about the complexity of the tooling and I have no clue what they’re talking about. This is from a backend perspective. If you jump on the TypeScript bandwagon, which makes everything infinitely harder, then maybe, sure, I’d agree with you. But JavaScript is dead simple to use.
Even now in frontend land there’s still innovation. Vite has been an absolute pleasure to use and spinning up a React app takes minutes. The irrational hate for JavaScript is really weird.
