I agree, nowadays working on mostly TS backend with some parts in JS written before async/await was introduced and I’m inclined to say TS is better than Python at most things bakcendy. I’m missing sqlalchemy and a sane numerical tower pretty much.
Python suffers from the same problems: its type system has many escapes and implicit conversions, making soundness opt-in and impossible to statically verify. Any language with an implicit cast from its bottom type to an upper type is unsuitable for use.
