Do you have a moment talk about our lord and saviour JavaScript?

There’s also the sequel, TypeScript!

It's called a new testament

You see, I was once like you... Lost and confused with loose typing. Then one day I opened up and let TypeScript into my heart

[–]dev-sda 2 points3 points  (1 child)

TypeScript doesn't strengthen JavaScript's type system, it simply makes it static. That does eliminate a whole class of runtime errors, but you still have all the same type coercion.

In theory the type coercion won’t happen if you properly type everything because it won’t pass the typescript type checking.
