    Okay I see your point

    I personnally work in a servesless environment, and doubt many business applications really need parallelism. (Btw, you have to have at deast 1000 IQ to do it properly in C, C++ or Rust) Plus there are other TS runtimes now, so you don’t have to use Node

    As for strings as JSON, I don’t understand the problem. You can do runtime validation to ensure what you’re handling is of the right shape.

    As for the numerous packages for the most basic thing, how is it different from C, C++ or Rust ? I prefer this approach to Java, where one framework does it all, bc there’s innovation going on like crazy in the JS ecosystem and some established solutions feel like garbage now…

    Personnally, I fell in love with TS because it’s orders of magnitude better than plain JS and because the type system is very well designed. It’s good enough for many usecases. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love doing it in Rust on a daily basis, but my business needs rarely justify it
