As I read it:

> “Typescript is a hack on top of [a] [supposedly] server side language that is [awful]. ( Node doesn't even support int64 )”

"supposedly" in this context meaning Js is not worth being called a "server side language", in the commenter's opinion (citing lack of int64 support for example). This also implies in subtext that "server side languages" would be of a higher category/value than languages for whatever other use-cases.

I personally don't agree with any of that, just helping communication here.
