Thank you. Finally people are speaking out against the madness of TypeScript. Don't get me wrong. It is a technical achievement to put a static type system on top of JavaScript. And for libraries, it is useful. It let's the users of the library get hints and direction from an editor like Visual Studio. But as a language. It is just not good. No way anyone would end up with a design like that had it been built from scratch without going through JavaScript first. Remember when Java did generics and got flak because of type erasure? Compare with TypeScript ...
