I have been writing code for more than 20 years. Personally, TS doesn't impress me. This is not meant as a criticism. Personally, I have found functional programming to be revelatory. I am shocked that is as been around as long as it has and that our schools don't teach it (or just mention it) and the majority of people in our industry as resistant to it.
"No matter what language you work in, programming in a functional style provides benefits. You should do it whenever it is convenient, and you should think hard about the decision when it isn’t convenient." -- John Carmack [1]
