And I assume your project doesn't use async code for shits and giggles? Async code is just as hard in JavaScript except that everything is single threaded anyway.

And even assuming that it really is easier to make: I'd rather have fewer well made applications than hundreds of crappy ones. Each fucking application having to redistribute a whole ass browser is insane, and they're all slow despite needing massive resources.

Yeah this is on me, I've never done web dev in my life. Always been low level shit for me. (The project is a highly networked system with isolates, async/await, futures, etc)

But damn man comparatively JS/TS seems a lot easier ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

That is true, Typescript and JavaScript look easier. And heck if all you want to do is make the money dance on your web page it really is easier.

But writing actual application? That does actual work with error handling? Hell, no. It honestly baffles me that anyone would use JavaScript of their own free will, unless that's the only language you know.
