Just realized:

We got to a point where I transpile typescript to react to es6 to plain es5. Just so that the browser could compile the code to bytes.

Sort of ridiculous. It's like translating a book from English to French to Spanish to Russian just so that we could create a Slavic interpretation of the book.

You are right but since the browser only knows how to display js, as long as you want to support older browsers there aren't any other options...

I started learning rust last week, in order to be able to compile it to webassembly. Rust is amazing!

@TempestasLudi Rust is one of the few languages that lit a fire inside me (in a good way). However it's syntax can be overwhelming at times.
