I really like Typescript. It's really well designed and gets typing right IMHO: Strong enough to help you where it matters, flexible enough to get out of the way where it doesn't. Also, type definition hell is definitely a thing. Trying to match types to code often makes me feel like trying to match subtitles to a movie. Off to podnapisi, pick what looks like the best subtitles, fire up VLC, oh shoot, subtitles are ten seconds off, timeshift subtitles to match, watch movie until we reach the first director's cut scene, now subtitles are off again and wife in open rebellion. Which is probably the main reason that we subscribe to Netflix these days instead of trying to bootleg our way through. I'm digressing. Anyway, it seems to me that after they started adding typescript typings to npm, everything has become more sane. At least for the more popular libraries, I rarely run into typing hell anymore. Less popular libraries, yeah, sometimes there is no typing, or sometimes the typing may still be off, but then I just give up and use "any". And these cases seem increasingly rare.
