> The type definitions exported by these libraries can be large and complex, and the error messages emitted by TypeScript are so long and cryptic What’s the alternative? If you make a type error in TS you get a cryptic error[0], but if you make a type error in JS you get a bug which you learn about after it crashes prod… [0] Personally I rarely get cryptic errors, because I go out of my way to design libraries in a way that the type definitions are kept simple, which also has the benefit of keeping the mental model of how the library works simple ;)
