I wish we'd stop trying to make broken languages work. This feels like hill-climbing into the strangest local optimum possible. JS is not the best example of an interpreted language. Wouldn't it be better to put Python in the browser than to put JS on the server? Can't wait for WASM to be a first-rate citizen on the web so we don't have to deal with this anymore.
I don't think the comparison is entirely fair since one of the main attractions of TS is that it runs in the browser. Python can unfortunately not fill the same role right now. So I'd keep that in mind while looking at that ranking. But yes, I see many people like it. Maybe I'm missing something, but it's still too JavaScript-y for me.

I think that's a categorical "no", because Python isn't an objectively better language than JavaScript. I'm saying this as a Python developer since v1.5 (>20 years).
