Agreed, it's incredibly tedious. It also creates a really toxic "oh, we're real programmers over here, JS devs suck" kinda vibe which can be incredibly unwelcoming especially to newer devs who might be seeking a community.

For real.

I think the "real" programmers are scared because you can now do basically anything in js/ts, and they're going to have to learn something they've always looked down on.

With web assembly coming fast a lot of these people are going to start realizing it would be nice to have a cheaper, js-only developer on hand. Then mgmt is going to realize they can have more developers that aren't total pains in the ass. And so long "real" programmers.

Then, some day, I think js will be the only language - or something like js.
