From what I've seen, there are a lot of vocal proponents of Typescript, but not many vocal detractors. Which of those is the actual majority is hard to day.
I have a theory that many of the people who like Typescript came from a statically-typed background (Java, C#, etc) and don't like the loosely-typed world of Javascript.
More speculation: People who came to front-end development by choice are happier with Javascript than those who were transplanted from the server side and forced to convert to the One Language Of Browsers (ignoring transpilers, of course).
- discreteevent 11y agoDon't forget people who came from desktop ui or game development and have had code completion and navigation for years and can't handle the slowness and unreliability of navigating and developing a js codebase.
