The ecosystem is a bit insane, JavaScript is a disaster, but typescript itself is very, very good. IMO it’s better for complex backends than Python, and I’ve been doing Python since before Django 1.0.
That said I’m patiently waiting for dotnet renaissance.

Sounds like a straw man to me
Absolutely bad advice and totally disagree.
So having a language such as TypeScript which is already built on top of an even more immature language such as Javascript in critical systems software or highly regulated settings is a good idea?
Having it on the backend is also bad enough, but everywhere really an indication of not being able to adapt into using a properly designed language for the specific use-case and just being inflexible because you are 'used to the language'.
This is not even talking about the entire TS/JS ecosystem which is has a sea of libraries which most of them are also immature and not production-grade at all.
