> It's a shame to see the new generation of developers moving back to statically typed languages (e.g. TypeScript)

Equating TypeScript to Pascal, C++, and Java, or even newer languages like Scala, Kotlin, and Rust is a poor comparison.

TypeScript's type system is extremely flexible and even optional.

It lets you choose your own point on the spectrum of dynamic and static types, and move that fluidly over time if that changes.
