Yep that's a fair blog. Nothing revolutionary in there.
Once in a while when I'm rapid prototyping something and I don't know what's in it, I'll use JavaScript and it's way faster. Like I used JavaScript to look through 3000 super shitty json records and see if there was any weirdness in there. Super fast.
I do use server side node and all the same arguments for TypeScript apply there.
I've found zealous adherence to specific languages/frameworks/tools to be the market of inexperienced developers. When an experienced dev exhibits this behavior, I see it as a red flag that they have spent their entire career focusing on that single technology, and haven't put in any effort rounding their skill set.
I get what you're saying, and I totally agree! Sticking too rigidly to one language or tool can definitely hold a developer back, especially in a field that changes so fast. It's important to specialize, but it’s just as important to stay curious and open to learning new things. That balance of knowing your stuff while still being adaptable is what really makes someone stand out in the long run.

Which behavior are you referring too? The flame wars?

Scripting vs programming languages.
