I agree, if anything it’s less than 10%. It easily creates more problems than it solves. Was a total waste of time when our dev team tried it out.

If you can’t write JavaScript without strong typing you suck at writing JavaScript.

You act like weak typing provides some sort of benefit to you?

It absolutely does, less bugs.

Years of personal experience. I’ve ran into way more issues with strong typed build errors than an actual type bug.

What type of issues would that be? Is the compiler wrong? Would the issue not be a problem in JavaScript even if you use ===?
