Lots of JS ecosystem is going to "rebuild in Rust" right now, ironically.
JS has a different lifecycle though, I suppose. Everything gets rebuilt like 5-10 times more often than other on platforms.

Getting to the finish line matters more than using the absolute best fit so to speak.
Same goes for orgs that have a lot of JS talent but no Rust for example.
I've seen such efforts and they tend to be extremely complicated and not really doing much.
I don't assume rational agency but instead that many people make poor decisions.
The core language is okay enough, not my favorite but it works. It's the surrounding ecosystem that's a pain.
I would have to think really hard if someone asked me if I'd rather have all the infra scripts written in Perl or TS. TS is more likely to break, but easier to read and fix. The odds of Perl breaking are slim, but it is a fucking nightmare to fix. I'm pretty sure I'd rather have Perl than JS, though. JS without a type system is rough, to me at least.
