This is awesome. I recently moved from Typescript to plain Javascript for a project and it is quite frustrating.

You don't realise what you had till it's gone!



For someone stubborn that refuse to use TS, what are you missing ? Is it the IDE tools or the compiler error messages, or writing type annotations ?


In addition to icholy's points, stronger typing means one traps a whole class of errors at compile/build time, as opposed to runtime.


IDE tools, compiler error messages, self documenting code.


Yeah


What a scary thought... leaving TS and going back to JS.
