I've never had a job where writing Javascript has been the primary language (so far it's been C++/Java/Golang). The JS Chrome Extension is a fun side project. Using Augment in a work context, I'm primarily using it for Golang and Python code, languages where I'm pretty proficient but AI tools give me a decent efficiency boost.

I understand the emotional satisfaction of letting loose an easy snarky comment, of course, but you missed the mark I'm afraid.

> If you are any good with those four languages, you are leagues ahead of anyone who does Javascript full time.

That is a priggish statement, and comes across as ignorant.

I’ve been paid to program in many different languages over the years. Typescript is what I choose for most tasks these days. I haven’t noticed any real difference between my past C#, C++, C, Java, Ruby, etc programming peers and my current JavaScript ones.
