I think you would be surprised to learn that more developers love TypeScript than Python these days, according to one popular survey.[0]

All of this is subjective, of course. WASM isn't going to make Python the language of choice for browsers any time soon.

I don't think the comparison is entirely fair since one of the main attractions of TS is that it runs in the browser. Python can unfortunately not fill the same role right now. So I'd keep that in mind while looking at that ranking. But yes, I see many people like it. Maybe I'm missing something, but it's still too JavaScript-y for me.
