I'd say TypeScript is currently the best choice for agents. For one, MCP tooling is really solid, the language itself is easy, fast to develop in, and not esoteric.

The same reason it’s good for web servers. It excels at even-driven applications.

Because it integrates great with browsers and people know the language already for node.js and the packages in npm can work for both?

A uniform language and ecosystem has been the siren song of JS for over a decade and I've yet to see it work out in any meaningful way.
