I have personally had three conversations (2 online, 1 in person) where the other person has said, almost verbatim, “I have never had a typing error in JavaScript”. Two of these people were people whose work I respected, so it could not understand how they could possibly hold that position.

It isn't wrong exactly. JS is famous for generally just trying to do something semi random instead of giving you a typing error.

That's the difference between "having a typing error" and "having an error due to typing".

well kinda

You can go a long way with just javascript, eslint and prettier if you work solo, but IME work is a low-trust environment which means that either you're a wolf and you do what you want or you have to use C# and enable nullable checks.
