I really wish people would stop vomiting out articles about how Javascript, or some other language/framework je dure, is broken, and needs to be replaced, etc. It's just useless noise - a technological tantrum thrown because something they don't like is popular. Plenty of people are using Javascript, Typescript, Dart, etc. to build software, and somehow are doing just fine despite the relentless sniping of people who insist that their language of choice isn't perfect, and is therefore worthless.

Stop wasting yours and others' time writing and reading these kinds of blog posts and concentrate on actually building something worthwhile.

Sorry you feel I am wasting your time. I am actually working up to the point of what I think would be better. The purpose of writing about the inadequacies of the existing tools is to provide a justification for creating an alternative.

I also want to gauge interest in creating another alternative to see whether it would be worth my time and effort.

One of the reasons why you think TypeScript isn't the answer is "TypeScript doesn’t fix anything in JavaScript". You seem to fall into the trap of saying "Don't use JavaScript or anything that's like JavaScript" when in real life projects both are popular and effective. It's easy to laugh at the == operator but people don't use it, etc.

As George Santayana didn't say, those who fail to study the history of programming languages are doomed to repeat it.

As long as language designers persist in making unnecessary and unfortunate errors in their designs, we need to point these out.
