> We're in an odd situation: Javascript is one of the only languages that has us write in one language (Typescript) to then have it transpiled to another one (Javascript)

It's also the only language that has a superset language owned by a large corporation with direct influence on standards revolving the ecosystem within which the language is used.

A large corporation that has a history of trying to overtake open communities for monetary or altruistic gain.

And a company that seems not to care about the community's needs or wants and instead manages the priorities of the "OSS" project entirely itself.
