As a c++/java guy, my side project is in typescript (as it was meant to be a web app). I.. don't love it. I often am using the ! operater to say "yes, I'm sure there will be an object here" in an array and having to get too particular with type specification (i.e. for keys in a map). I'm not sure it adds all that much value to my project.
