I concur, which I think is ironic since I think Javascript is a terrible language.
And I don't say that lightly, because I view most programming languages as being pretty much on par. They're all fine; the differences are more about framework and support than the language in itself. Javascript is one of the few languages so poorly thought out and so badly evolved that I actually say it's a bad language.
And yet it's ubiquitous, easy to learn, and (after decades) has reached a point where you can mostly step around the worst of the landmines. I'd even say that Typescript is pretty good, though it's probably best for a first-timer to be able to skip that.
