Thanks but I already took matters into my own hands and quit my last company which forced me to use TypeScript for several years. Can you tell all the companies to stop obsessing about TypeScript and to allow developers to use JavaScript too? That would be awesome because now it's almost impossible to find a JavaScript job. I'd rather get social security and live under a bridge than go back to TS. That would be a more productive use of my time.

> Can you tell all the companies to stop obsessing about TypeScript and to allow developers to use JavaScript too? I don't have that much influence. Most of those companies have come to their own conclusions. At my company, the reason we wouldn't allow that is that it makes the codebase more difficult to approach for a new developer. Knowing the types accepted and returned is helpful for reading unfamiliar code.
