This 100%. I would also add that it seems alot of companies have been substituting type checking for a proper testing strategy. Eric Elliot goes into great length about this in this article: https://medium.com/javascript-scene/the-typescript-tax-132ff4cb175b https://medium.com/javascript-scene/the-typescript-tax-132ff... I'm a little disappointed/surprised flow is viewed by some as a pet project by Facebook, I really think it is a great type checking tool that works nicely with other tooling.

This is my least favorite article about TypeScript. It's chock-full of misleading tidbits and questionable interpretations of cited material. The HN discussion on the article is pretty illuminating: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18977700 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18977700 Flow was built for a very specific usecase: incrementally adding types to an existing untyped project. TypeScript is better for almost everything else.

  Ohh yeah great discussions there. I see now, that it's not about which is better, more just different approaches thanks!
