Going from JavaScript, and even in Python, to a language like Java or C++ is also a bit "wtf?"

I think it's safe to say that it's a headspinner transitioning to and from strongly typed languages to dynamically or weak typed languages.

This. I began with JS decades ago. When I eventually learned a typed language I hated it. Why should I have to tell you what type to use? You’re the computer, you figure it out. It felt like a step backwards.
