Seems that this has been in Chrome since sometime last year; first mention on Google is in March, but a lot of the stories regarding it are dated September.

Hey, thanks for the detailed reply!
Last night, I went through a lot of research and bikeshedding myself, and a lot of my intuitions aligned with your experiences.
I was curious about Go, but it seemed while it was possible to do mostly everything you wanted to do, it wasn't necessarily a smooth experience.
I looked at Kotlin next. I'd used Spring Boot before with Java, and at the time I was fond of the annotations, but, like you said, I've heard that they can become a burden in larger projects. Thankfully, I saw that there were a number of other Kotlin web frameworks that had vocal support.
Finally, I spent the last bit of my time choosing between C# (.NET Core) and Kotlin with Ktor something else. I ended up finding this very helpful site[1] that showed examples from the two languages side by side. That had settled it for me; C# just looked more like what I wanted out of a programming language's syntax. Plus, LINQ looks really cool.
At some point in the future, I'd also like to gain more comfort with Python and Django. I can't stop hearing good things about those two.

If I may, I have a related question I'd like to ask.
I'm a front-end developer looking to get serious about practicing my back-end development skills. Any recommendations for a language/framework with static typing (outside of Node + TS)? Spring Boot and Kotlin? .NET Core? Go?
At any rate, I believe the poster you responded to was using hyperbole to equate "history of the Kardashians" with some degree that he or she deems "equally as useless."
