> It's the things in the "wat" video.

It's a funny video, still after 15 years of seeing it, I'll give you that. But the number of times I'm bothered by accidentally triggering those scenarios in real-life? Could probably count that on one hand.

I also give you that TypeScript helps beginner JavaScript developers a ton, and that's no easy feat by itself, just because of those things you mention. Once you build up intuition about how things work in JavaScript though, those sort of bugs should stop happening though, otherwise I'd say you aren't really learning the language.
