Damn, it's almost like using an untyped language for large projects is not a great idea.

Python is absolutely typed. By default, it's really dynamic, though.

And yet we are overwhelmed by javascript nonsense... I get it - it's so easy to get up to speed with tiny snippets but it quickly becomes hot mess.

Yes, decades ago I was also fascinated by python and it's ease of doing stuff (compiler doesn't complain that I missed something) but with time I grew fond of statically typed languages... they simply catch swaths of errors earlier...

Are we still overwhelmed by js? I almost only see TS code these days.

I had to deal with it ~1-2 years ago so for my faily ancient self it feels "recent" though considering that there were JS frameworks popping up every couple of months and were getting dropped a year later then my timeframe may be off ;)
