Why Wasp gives up its own language in favor of TypeScript?

The article on the Wasp blog tackles a controversial topic regarding the promises of a new programming language for web application development. The author points out that although programming languages are designed to eliminate inefficiencies, they often end up creating more problems than they solve. New languages can introduce additional complexities and force developers to learn new syntax and concepts, which can be frustrating. Furthermore, the risk of fragmenting the development tool ecosystem means that the experience of the developer community becomes uneven. The author admits that assuming a new programming language is a cure-all for web development issues was a mistake. In reality, as technology evolves, it becomes apparent that established practices and existing languages still have a lot to offer, and perhaps the innovation that will truly change how applications are built doesn't necessarily need to come in the form of a new programming language.
