You come off as incredibly arrogant too, you just don't realise it because you have the current mainstream opinion and the safety of a crowd.

Do you know how fucking obnoxious it is when 200 people like you come into every thread to tell 10 C or Javascript developers that they can't be trusted with the languages and environments they've been using for decades? There are MILLIONS of successful projects across those two languages, far more than Rust or Typescript. Get a fucking grip.

Nobody is telling JS developers that Rust will save them, chill.

Well, not 100% true... With Rust being the principal language that compiles to webassembly, I'm sure there is quite a lot of JS code being re-written in Rust right now.

But you'll be called things like "catastrophically unprofessional" [1] if you choose JavaScript over TypeScript, or dynamically-typed Python over MyPy.

He's right. That is catastrophically unprofessional in a professional environment.
