Yes, like Python and Javascript right? Turns out you don’t need a great language when you provide what most people want: great tooling, good resources to ramp up, great stdlib, etc. Believe it or not Golang was the first language to do this, and probably still the only one? (Rust misses the mark on great stdlib)

> great stdlib

Many comments say the opposite of this. I am not too experienced, but I do know that go has a great standard library for web apps.

I'm pretty familiar with Golang's stdlib and other languages stdlib and I'm not sure what the other commenters are on.
Typescript (which is 99% of current JS above toy scale) has a company behind it.
