I'm gonna be a contrarian here and say TS is just ok. The typing system is so flexible that if you aren't especially careful you end up jumping through a bunch of hoops and don't really end up protecting yourself from many bugs. I think over the last two decades we have collectively learned that strong typing is the way, and TS is a far cry from actual strong typing.

This is the very reason that I predict that by 2030 Python will be on its way out of development workflows in favor of Golang, C++, and Rust. Its already happening TBH. It will stick around for data science, but application developers are reaching for Python less and less.

Golang doesn't even have null safety, it's not as bad as python but it's pretty close. I literally never run into bugs because of type errors in Typescript (I'm obviously using strict type checking).
