Perhaps he's biased because he made TypeScript? Then again, this is from the main guy behind C#. The language that chose "delegate" as it's lambda keyword (fixed it later at least), decided tuples aren't worth supporting, went with C-style optional parameters after years of promoting overloads instead (both terrible ideas), and barely has type inference. (Just a few things that popped in the top of my mind.)

Write for the web seems like a lame excuse to not embrace better languages and deal with the issues in cross compilation.
