I hear this so often, so as an exclusively js/ts dev I have to ask... what about this is “done poorly”?

```

try {

  return await fetch(url);

} catch (e) {

  handleError(e)

}

```

Because that (metaphorically speaking) is 90% of what I write. Throw in the occasional closure, `map()` or `reduce()`

My day to day headaches are never from TS, and always from unpredictable DOM api/layout/style behavior.

I guess I just don’t have any frame of reference for how “nice” a language can be. Is it just that JS has so many “bad parts” and footguns that I’ve gotten good at ignoring?
