> (Oracle, Microsoft, ...) who force Java and JS on everybody.

Why call out Microsoft? They aren't forcing Java or JS. They came up with C# and Typescript instead.

I can't speak to Typescript, but C# is way more fun to write than Java. It's not particularly interesting or glamorous, but it is nicer to write.




We've converted all our JS to TS, huge timesaver.


I meant in general. Microsoft did force their flawed Windows on everybody anyway.


Microsoft forced Windows on everyone, therefore by the transitive property of online griping, Microsoft also forced JS and Java on everyone? But in general, so it makes sense.

This is like saying Coca-Cola is responsible for the high sugar content in Hershey's chocolate. In general.
