      Seems like a “haha JS bad” kind of joke, but OP seems to forget that Python is also in a similar boat.

        I expected Python to have a lot of dust while it only flew 1 cm

          Meme: image of an airliner cockpit, but the thrust levers are replaced with a big button that says “import numpy”

            Nah, just slow.

            But it has a ridiculously big library and is easy to write. A lot of libraries are also written in C, so the slowness drawback doesn’t even apply in some cases.

        JS at least has Typescript to mitigate most of its problems, but mypy leaves a lot to be desired.
