Hm, i'll have to disagree. My first language, decades before i became a programmer, was Commodore Basic. When i started learning programming in earnest, my first languages were Java, C and Python. The first language that spoiled me was ReasonML, compiling and reloading a JavaScript frontend in milliseconds. The first real job using Typescript was like watching paint dry. Around 30 seconds of waiting for compiler, linter and the rest of tooling on each push? My colleagues disabled the linter to get work done.
