So 'tooling' is it's real selling point? Wow... Last I checked it still used the same mean arrays and dicts, too. Scala's default libraries blow/blew it out of the water.

That's not what tooling means. What you are talking about are called "libraries", which, using the same libraries with better tooling, is one of the core strengths of TypeScript.

  Those were 2 separate thoughts. I was not conflating tooling with libraries. And I'm still amazed that you seem to think tooling would be a main selling point or 'core strength' for it.

    Yes. The compiler catches most type errors (depending on how faithful you are to the type system), and code completion and refactoring are great also.
