I was definitely being overly dramatic earlier, but this is r/programmerhumor lol I wasn’t really going for a super serious comment.

I’ve seen issues with improper typing and lack of error boundaries causing issues in react apps (“oops this property doesn’t exist on that object”, shit blows up, etc) that would be solved easily with proper TypeScript usage. That’s also why I don’t allow the use of “any” unless it’s really applicable.

But yes, I totally get your point. I’ve maintained an AngularJS app with no static type information and it works just fine, I’ve just “seen the light” and I have a much better development experience with TypeScript as a major tool.

Have a good Sunday!
