One of the things that's interesting about modern languages like Java and Typescript is that they target software engineers that want things like generics, type safety, etc.

A lot of data scientists DO NOT want this. They're heavy on the science and less so on the software engineering.

I think this is one of the reasons Python took off.

Having to learn generics, type safety, exception handling, etc turns out to be a real pain when you're also learning about neural networks, AIs, etc.
