> Why don't people see the advantage of "universal" languages? It's obvious that developer love them and they are empowered by them, hence the success of languages like Javascript/Typescript and Kotlin despite their obvious flaws and limitations!

It's curious to argue that we should all be content with "universal" languages and stop developing new ones by citing TypeScript and Kotlin, two brand new languages created specifically to replace the already existing "universal" languages of JavaScript and Java.



They're "universal" languages replacing other "universal" languages. That's orthogonal to parent's point that "universal" languages are better.
