> Even when you're using it, you can simply ignore the warnings/errors if you want to be naughty, and TypeScript will simply shrug and say "if you insist. You'll realize later I was right." But in the meantime your code actually runs. This is because, well, TypeScript is sufficiently close to the target language---JavaScript. There exists some reasonable JavaScript translation of many "bad" TypeScript code. Rust (among other languages) is compiled down to the machine code and you won't have such luxury there. After all you need the exact enough type [1] to translate the damn thing to the binary anyway. [1] Yeah the generic type "erasure" is a thing. That's reasonable only because those languages target slightly above the machine code (managed environments).
