"static typing is still worth it. " Or maybe 'flex typing' as we have in TS. I love that TS has 'any' type, because it really allows for some flex in development when you 'haven't figured the dam type out yet' - OR - you're dealing with untyped JSON-ish data. A completed system has 'strong typing'. But a system is always in development. You're trying to do A, but in the meantime, B, C and D need types! And you didn't even know C and D needed to exist. Oops! So you can tweak tsc to be a little lose with the facts and then as the module matures, tighten it up. It's actually kind of interesting that TSC is one of the few 'compilers' (yea I know it's a transpiler) that actually gives you that amount of power over things.
