TypeScript Confronts Its JavaScript Origin

Description

A two-panel Darth Vader-style meme shows a dark armored figure with a blue "TS" TypeScript logo over the head saying "You're weak." In the lower panel, a fallen figure with a yellow "JS" JavaScript logo replies "I'm you." The humor comes from TypeScript criticizing JavaScript despite being built on JavaScript's runtime semantics, adding static type tooling while still inheriting much of the ecosystem's behavior and baggage.
