They're not similar at all, lol. Sure, they both use c-style syntax and Python doesn't, but the way you program in the two are completely different.
all I'm saying is syntax. Sure they're used in different contexts, and sure there are some different ideas used, but the c-style syntax is all I'm advocating.
A jump from js to ts would only require some "how do I X in TS?? I could in JS!" thought-food posts instead of silly syntax errors
It kind've encourages more advanced thinking about how different languages work, instead of how to write them. Allows people to branch off into yet more languages, all the while thinking about syntax as this mundane thing you pick up in an hour or so.
I guess I just view these things differently.
