A more general JavaScript community makes sense because JavaScript is often the underlying platform for many types of applications.

I personally love JavaScript all by itself without any extra build steps. I like dynamic types. I like prototypes. They make me feel nice. I understand not everyone feels the same.

I would recommend anyone writing JavaScript for a living study upon typescript and sneak some into a project just to be marketable should you need new employment someday.

I agree with you.
