As a mid-life greabeard that started my career on Z/OS / MVS writing JCL and running COBOL and SAS jobs, I like JavaScript. It doesn't have the obtuseness of C, the ultra-strict type-checking of Pascal, the verbosity of COBOL, class chaos of Java, the mind-bending notation of PostScript, nor the escapee from the loony bin mentality of SQL

I was trying to explore a way to build a client/server application in Typescript; after some failed experiments, I found something better: Next.js offer the ability to build a React application and to render server-side its dynamic components.
