Well and that JS is really fast thanks to V8 and TS has leapfrogged Ruby in terms of developer tooling. Personally I think Ruby is a nicer language and JS has a lot of odd quirks but it became Java. A good natural choice that can be used for any project.

The only thing I would ever want from js is destructuring assignment. There's rightward assignment in ruby now but it's pretty clunky.

Best laugh I've had all week.
