And it's the exact reason I'm really reluctant to fully buy into Typescript... I always feel like I'm wrong about the "not an official spec" part of things but you are 100% correct in my understanding. Also on "it's whatever each release wants it to be" - that is hell on earth if you're looking to target consistent software processes and it only gets worse the more you scale (both solution and team). I get the value of Typescript - hell I've used it extensively myself... it's just that I can't stop feeling like this is all an anti-pattern: trying to make a loosely-typed language a typed language (if you can call it that?). =/

I share the same concerns. It’s also a little irking that if I want to enjoy good tooling for typescript, I now have to install another language on my system since the language that typescript sits on is a hot mess. I don’t mean to cast shame on JavaScript, but I’d be remiss to not say that modern js development is a bit insane. The only reason we all go along with it is because we have to.

  You don't have to install another language to use tools written in Golang (or Rust) unless you have to build binaries yourself.
