Interestingly quite similar to my own progression. I think working in modern typed languages ( Rust, Swift, Typescript ) is what primarily changed my viewpoint in a way that C and Java just couldn't. In the last year I've transitioned from full time JS development to full time TS development and have been pleasantly surprised how easy the transition was for my personal projects. Previously I had been quite adamantly against TypeScript; seeing the type system as an unnecessary level of complexity given I already structured my code in quite strict ways. In most it helped me find 1 or 2 small errors, but it certainly helps reduce the amount of time I spend verifying the behaviour of code. It definitely has its flaws, but most of them are linked to its compatibility with JS and I don't think they can be resolved unfortunately.
