I can't take anyone who promote JavaScript over any real programming language seriously.

first, people build transpiler so that they can build and maintain large codebase without losing sanity.

Then you have react that come with this great idea, immutability, so that they can have saner codebase.

Much of what happen is due to the language deficiency. Which is why some would have gone and consider language like Go.

But you are talking about swift here - net yet a 'real' programming language per se ... But specifically in comparison with JavaScript? on an admittedly superficial review of swift it looks quite similar to JS. so what's with the 'real'? Is it the maturity of the language? The base of developers who already use it? It's yajs with access to the ios APIs.
