The fact that this meme makes sense to anyone demonstrates how dynamic typed programming languages cause brain damage.
I prefer to think of it as maybe don't shoehorn a shitty type checker into a dynamic language. Honestly I think people who get excited about typescript should fuck off and go write java instead.
JS is the one that's built into the browser. If JS wasn't built into the browser, it would go onto the trashbin of bad old languages that only survived because of their platform like VBA and ActionScript and .bat batch scripting. You can't compare JS to any other language because JS is the one you don't get a choice on.
Tell that to the NodeJS people...
Stockholm syndrome.
I've heard it said that the longer you work with JavaScript, the more you hate it. I'm not gonna lie, I really miss working on ASP.Net Core backends. Switching from that to NodeJS was a huge downgrade.
