I wish death upon it, but it just won't die. I guess that's cuz it's the only frontend. Or at least the only frontend that allows DOM manipulation.

It's because it's a great language. Legitimately cannot understand why anyone would dislike it, especially with the the ES5+ editions and the advent of Typescript.

I started with C#, and have used Python, Java, PHP, and Ruby in professional capacities and still find Typescript to be my favourite by a significant margin.

I worked for a company that refused to use TypeScript because it "slowed devs down". It was...a laughable period in my life.
