Not to disagree necessarily, but if you (give me a little rope) bucket languages that are hard to get past the compiler but more often correct when you do (Rust, Haskell), and languages where it's pretty easy to get something past the compiler and tweak it until it works well enough for your purposes (JS, C/C++), the tweak-it-until-it-kinda-works languages are fucking killing it on adoption.
