> TypeScripters who need big daddy MS or other monopolist to sort it all out for them

What is this crap statement?

So you want type-checking because it helps you catch a class of errors in an automated way, and suddenly you have a daddy complex and like monopolies?

Claiming this says a lot more about you than people who use TypeScript.

If you want type safety there are any number of better languages out there compiling to JavaScript. The entire point of JS is that's a portable good enough dynamic scripting language, not a freaking mess changing all the time.
