I respect those who use and enjoy TS, but I have less respect for the argument that it should be used in place of JS everywhere.

You’re replacing runtime trust with compile-time trust, but at the cost of flexibility and speed. That’s not always worth it.

TypeScript solves problems I stopped having 20 years ago.
