> If you are any good with those four languages, you are leagues ahead of anyone who does Javascript full time.

That is a priggish statement, and comes across as ignorant.

I’ve been paid to program in many different languages over the years. Typescript is what I choose for most tasks these days. I haven’t noticed any real difference between my past C#, C++, C, Java, Ruby, etc programming peers and my current JavaScript ones.

		> That is a priggish statement A cursory glance at the definition of "prig" shows that what I wrote there is categorically not. You should at least try to look up that word and if you look it up and still don't get it then what you have is a reading comprehension issue. > Typescript is what I choose for most tasks these days. So you're smart on this, at least. Cantrill said it really well, Typescript brought "fresh water" to Javascript. > haven’t noticed any real difference between my past C#, C++, C, Java, Ruby, etc programming peers and my current JavaScript ones. You might still be on their level. I see that you didn't mention Rust or at least GoLang. Given the totality of your responses, you're certainly not writing any safe C (not ever).
