Probably users making multiple accounts to get additional free-tier quota of AI requests.

Sounds like good evidence nobody really wants to write TypeScript.

I mean, I find TypeScript fun to write. The only thing I really dislike about it is configuring the tools (tsc, eslint, etc). It's a great language when everything's setup and you disallow all the ugly JSisms with your linter and tsc.

I'd generally rather be using something else, but in the grand scheme typescript is pretty nice and I prefer it over some other common langs like python.

AI AI blah blah AI.

Also why is HCL supposedly the 9th most popular "programming language" (which it isn't anyway)?
