The vast majority of web development is done using JavaScript without TypeScript despite headlines on HN and reddit.


The vast majority of web development was also done without jQuery in 2007 despite headlines on HN and reddit.

That did not mean jQuery wasn't better than the ugly ad-hoc kludges in vanilla JS most web developers used at the time.
