Where can I find the original interview in Spanish?

Thanks for your work!

I've been using Debian GNU/Linux with KDE as my main Desktop from 1999 (21 years now): in home and work. As a "family administrator" my father use Linux in the Desktop too from about the same time. My 2 sisters and my brother also use it all the time. If they have any problems, they call me and I'll take care of it. I got married in 2004, and since then my wife and in-laws have also used Linux on the desktop as their only operating system.

My oldest daughter is 16 years old and has always used Linux at home, and she had no problem when Windows was found in some classes in the High School. I think it is possible, as long as you have someone to turn to if there are problems (I am that someone in my family).

I use it for games, like Magic The Gathering Arena, without too much problems.

The biggest problem the parent comment have with JS is not types, as you say, but __a lack of a static type system__.

They are things as different as that you can actually have type problems only in a really typed system (as a static type system). Javascript has a very weak type system, and that's the problem. I think you do not understand that static typing serves to solve other problems in the code, not to solve type problems ... it would be like saying that an hypothetical language needs functions to solve function problems ... and then you say that you never had problems with functions in that hypothetical language (ex: assembler, with very primitives "functions", where you have to save data in register before jumping to code in another memory address).
