minus-squarealokir@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·11 months agoTypescript with all strict checks turned on. You get all the good parts of JS with types, and (almost) none of the bad ones.

minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-211 months agoHonestly for web/backend dev in 2023: Typescript for 90% of things, Go or Rust for anything else that needs to eek out that extra bit of performance.
