Of course, people have reservations against using either. However, my question is only regarding which is better of the two.

Would the answer be different if,

1. The compiler targets -> ARM v. NASM

2. The compiler targets -> LLVM IR

3. C (like how, for example Nim, does things)

4. I don't use my own parser/lexer, and use libraries

Hi everyone, I have +/- 4 years of experience with typescript, and recently I've had to work in AWS with python code written by people who are not with the team anymore and who weren't programmers by heart. At first, I was excited to focus on python because it's the fastest and cheapest runtime to use in what we do. I have since become the main developer of the team and constantly push for doing better. However, I have been unable to translate the same high-quality standards that I set for myself to python. I feel like the python ecosystem leaves a lot to be desired (package management, linting configuration, automated testing, strict typing, etc). It's in there, but not nearly as good as in the TS/JS/npm ecosystem.

I personally feel like typescript (and npm) could give us a lot of guardrails to help us help ourselves long term to massively improve our code quality.

I'm a bit nervous (because I really hope we can switch to typescript for future projects) and I'm looking for arguments to make during my pitch. Does anyone have any ideas?

p.s. the speed and cost arguments for python are irrelevant according to my manager
