I love JS and especially the variety of tools available.

It's a double edged sword. But once you have your tools is great.

I love webpack, vscode, Typescript, npm, preact and mocha. All great tools to solve a specific problem.

So much better than a number of other language. Have you ever dealt with the horrors of package management with pip because it's inconsistent installs.

Personally I'm surprised the null/undefined checking feature of TypeScript isn't raved about more which is missing from many typed languages.
