> I think the killer language will be typescript with access to both the python and JavaScript ecosystems. We'll see what that looks like. I think this is an extremely good idea. Python is horrible but forced on a huge number of developers because of its ecosystem ... I think a bridging layer from typescript to python could be built in a way similar to swift’s Python Interop — and I don’t think it would require any special language support ... I think could actually make a better/easier to use/more robust design than Swift by requiring all interactions with the python interpreter from node be async. |

This is a really interesting perspective to me. Coming from Python circles, I've heard too often how horrible JavaScript is as a language and how it's only used because the web has dictated it. Doing web development, I've used both, and generally am inclined to agree. I know TypeScript add some niceties on top of it, but it still is stuck with JavaScript baggage. My perspective has always been that Python is by far the better language, which is why people have written that eco-system in it despite the fact it doesn't have a built-in monopoly of the browser.
