It's not. Strong typing is overrated. Lisp has lived without it for more than 50 years. People are obsessed with typing as though it were the solution to all dev problems. It's not.
- rodneon 8y agoThose have been my thoughts exactly, except I might need to buckle down and use Typescript because the devs at work favor it. I don't want to hate coding in Typescript, which is why I posted this Ask HN. I still wouldn't use it on any projects where I have full control. But, if I need to use it, I might as well try to see the bright side of it. On the other hand, all this "safety" that Typescript imparts just gets in the way of productivity. It's a language to show off to your boss, not to get shit done.
