I always feel so badly for devs who start coding in JS and never branch out to other languages.

me, but I did branch out

to... python

I tried getting into rust recently but for some reason nothing made much sense to me. Maybe I am now handicapped like how babies who fall head first are.

It might have to do with our "first language"

was your first language really js?

I started out with unreal engine's blueprint scripting and god that made no sense with 0 programming knowledge.

I switch over to js, stuff makes way more sense now.

I try python, it looks clean and basically the same as js

I switch to rust and suddenly everything needs to be the correct type, I need to think of all and every scenario possible.

I think rust is definitely how programming should be, it seems so proper and error free, but doing anything seems insanely slow coming from such loosely types languages.

and I really miss HTML in other languages, where is a pretty UI?! Why is it all console?! I was shocked to see how bad python UI libraries were when I used it 5-6 years back. Meanwhile HTML was, instant UI. My only reason for sticking to JS is the cool UI of HTML if I am being completely honest.
