Stop using Javascript. Or Typescript or whatever excuses they have for the fundamentally flawed language that should have been retired eons ago instead of trying to get it fixed. Javascript, its ecosystem has always been a pack of cards. Time and again it has been proven again. I think this is like the 3rd big attack in the last 30 days alone.
Yes but it has nothing to do with the language, and everything to do with the ecosystem (npm tried to make thing such as mandatory MFA etc, npmjs is so big maintainers pushed back)
TypeScript on its own is a great language, with a very interesting type system. Most other type systems can’t run doom.

That doesn't sound like a compliment.
This isn't a JS specific issue.
it is being attacked precisely because it is ubiquitous. no one is going to attack haskell, erlang or whatever no one uses.
