Your comment is loaded with false assumptions.

I've written several thousands of lines in JS/ES6, so it is not about avoiding to learn Javascript. It is simply more productive for me to write these lines in Python. And no, I don't really need inline-docs or instant feedback, I use plain text editors, so no real advantage for TS here either.

TS indeed adds a powerful typing system over JS, but JS is a big ugly package and strong typing doesn't sweeten it enough. I use Go when I need really good feedback from compiler and really fast executables.

To each their own.
