Maybe it could be better to just learn JavaScript?

  TS was developed to avoid replacement of JS(i.e by something like Dart) so I doubt better JS training could help it.

  TypeScript doesn't let you avoid learning JavaScript fundamentals. The same basic rules still apply. The difference is having a compiler and a type system that tells you when you've broken things. Most people that have actually used TypeScript for any length of time understand the type system to be invaluable.

      Not a strong argument. Static typing prevents a certain class of bugs. There are a ton of bugs that it does nothing for, which is why tests are still useful.

      Using Eric Elliott articles as a source is never a good idea. The guy is way too dogmatic and even crazy/harmful.
