    Why not just use a good language though? Most of them are decent. It sounds like typescript is getting used a lot, at least - although it then gets turned into JavaScript for the browser.

      You don’t really have a choice when it comes to front end web dev, JS is almost the only option for programming languages that run in the browser.

        Yes, there’s a lot of lock-in with JavaScript. The first step would be designing a Python-based browser or whatever and getting people to use it. I know less about PHP.

        That was more of a “why if you had the option”. I’ve use JavaScript too for exactly this reason.
