| Language / Superset | What makes it strong | What makes it challenging / trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| JavaScript (JS) | Ubiquitous in frontend. Huge ecosystem (frameworks, tools, libraries). Easiest way to get into the industry currently. | Can get messy. Maintaining large JS projects can lead to callback hell, type safety issues, harder refactoring. |
| TypeScript (TS) | Adds static typing. Helps avoid many runtime errors. Enables better tooling, refactoring, safer large-scale apps. Very popular in modern codebases. | Learning curve. Requires build step. Sometimes verbosity. You’ll need to configure types, learn type system quirks. |
| Dart (used with Flutter for Web) | Good if you want one codebase for mobile + web. Strong for certain cross-platform cases. Can deliver rich UI. | Less mature tooling for pure web compared to JS/TS. Smaller community. More limited choices of libraries. |
| Python (for web frontend tools / less common via things like Brython, Anvil) | Very readable, great for |
