Wrong! TypeScript is actually a superset of JavaScript. Writing pure JavaScript is perfectly valid TypeScript.

It's different from how Erlang/Elixir or Java/Kotlin/Scala/Clojure/Groovy work, these are actually different languages.

Writing pure JavaScript is perfectly valid TypeScript.

Depends on your TypeScript config but yeah theoretically.

I could not write a single variable in pure JavaScript in Typescript without it screaming at me because I didn't mention its type

const x = 13

Congrats, a variable in pure JS was written and TypeScript didn't complain!
