Yeah but a decent tsc configuration is not default, so many people are still writing shitty typescript.

  `"strict": true` is turned on by default when you run `tsc --init` and is recommended in every talk by everyone, including the TypeScript team... So I'm afraid the defaults are indeed sane and exactly what you want. I'm not sure much of what you've said in these threads really gels with reality so far. For anyone confused: `"strict": true` in `tsconfig.json` just blanket enables all type checks, including future ones. You can then opt out of specific ones of your choosing if there's too much pain caused by the original authors, but none of those things are added by default. The TS team wants you to leave strict mode on.

    To add to this, flow control analysis requires certain stict features. To be a bit obtuse; you want flow control analysis ergo you want strict :)

  You are grasping at straws at this point. TypeScript is not the end all and be all of programming languages. It tweaks Javascript to be a little bit more sane, that's all. The kinds of people that seek out this sort of thing probably know whether or not to enable "any", and did so for their configurations. Either decision paves the way towards a cleaner future; those that started from zero and had "any" disabled on day 1, or those that are cleaning up a large codebase and are slowly making progress cleaning it up. TypeScript lets you be either person and lets you make your own decision. It is clear to someone with even cursory knowledge of Javascript and TypeScript what options are available in this regard. Whatever the default is, people can probably make the right decision for their application. It's not hard and it's not hidden.
