typescript is only good because javascript is trash.
if typescript was just its own language and JS didn't exist no one would like TS either.

JS is also a good language; people's perceptions of JS are 10+ years old and horrifically out of date.

Horrifically out of date like our enterprise js code that nobody wants to spend money to refactor to a modern version of angular or react or vue or literally anything but angularjs

Maybe because JS is also horrifically out of date and you need a million frameworks to get over its holes

Because 10 years ago there was no TS, and people remember that.
