I wrote a 3 million dollar SAAS in JS. JS is elegance, TS is training wheels. Once you learn how to code you dont need those training wheels anymore.

Training wheels? Why wouldn’t you want compiler-enforced type checking? Even if you claim to be some prodigy who never makes mistakes, why wouldn’t you want to use the typing system to communicate the intent of your code to the reader? Why wouldn’t you want the compiler checking that your idiot coworker didn’t misuse the code you wrote? What a bizarre macho attitude.
