Do you have interests beyond the JS world? TypeScript being the best thing to happen to web dev sounds a bit hyperbolic.

There are a lot of other great languages, but none of them run in the browser. Once you know that your frontend is in TS, there are a lot of advantages to writing the BE in it also. Like I said, there are exceptions, but it has become my default.
The vast majority of web apps have JS on the front end. It's not even close.
