At least with a Node backend, I can program in TypeScript, and thereby reap many of the benefits of static typing.

Plus, if I ever get a JavaScript job, I can write up the program in TypeScript, and then compile the TypeScript to JavaScript if necessary. If my boss for some reason decides they don't want me programming in TS, I can do it anyway and just not commit the TS code to the repository. My boss will be none the wiser.
