Yes, I know, you repeated it often enough. And I keep not sharing that opinion of yours.
> Why do you think there are so many translation layer efforts for JavaScript?
That's a really good question, given how little value many of these add depending on the context they are used in, and how many hoops some of them make developers jump through to do things that would be plain simple using less sophisticated libraries instead of frameworks, or go with plain JS in the first place.
Luckily, I answered that question several times in this thread already, so I don't need to repeat myself :-)

Or, and hear me out on this: Maybe the people downvoting completely understand your points, and simply...disagree?
> This is not what people are doing.
Yes, this is what people are doing, which is exactly why things like lightweight JS frameworks and uncluttered languages that come batteries included like Go are being so successful.
