Programming Javascript is roughly the equivalent of hitting your head with a hammer or trying to uninstall McAfee.

As if Javascript wasn’t complex enough, let’s introduce TypeScript and Coffescript and then write transpilers so we can convert said languages back into Javascript, which we could have done in the first place.

Nobody uses coffeescript anymore, and typescript is there to make things easier not harder.

And all the new versions of all the above constantly being released. I'm so glad I don't use those languages anymore.

These languages only exist because JS is so dumb in the first place
