I agree, although I would say that for web projects, writing the backend in TS is still a really great option because it means you can use TSX, which has a much better UX than any alternatives. For example https://usefresh.dev/ is much nicer to use than any non-TS options I've found, including Go and Rust where you basically end up using text-based templates along the lines of Jinja.
