Makes me miss Ruby. Been in node typescript recently. Everything is a callback returning a promise in some weird resolution chain, mapped and conditional types, having to define schemas for everything and getting yelled at by lsp all day... Oh then you gotta write react components and worry about rerenders and undefined behavior caused by impurity in state, npm, arcane .json configs

Versus active record, mvc, yaml configs, bundler, beautiful syntax, robust and trivially extendable stdlib, amazing native debugging and cli docs out of the box, everything out of the box if you're using Rails

I do not understand why it becomes increasingly irrelevant, especially in web development. I kinda get scripting--bash and python tend to run everywhere
