I think what's actually being proposed is that we fall for a troll.
Possibly an academic troll who will later ridicule its victims, viz.

You need to cite your sources for the claim that "most of the tech
debt" in JavaScript product development is due to accidentally using
types other than 20-year-old built-ins and having to figure out the
daunting task of JSON serialization.

Huh.
Well, to each their own as far as how "proof" works. I prefer the

But we do.
It's not that there aren't powerful XML-based applications still being
developed. And XML still buttresses some of the most important
back-end components of the modern (as well as ancient) web.
But surely you cannot have

Should talk to longtime Python peeps about it, it's not just "easy" or
they'd be using VB6!
Let me leave this here:

You keep saying that's *the reason* scientific and data-scientific

sidestep:

C# is a explicitly compiled language. And a Windows language. (Mono is
