Have fun doing extra work:
- writing unit tests that will likely be not exhaustive
- refactoring your unit tests constantly each time you change something
- do all that without the assistance of a compiler telling you what broke
- having to read code to infer types by hand
All all of that for what? so that your code still breaks.
Comparing strings by hand is certainly the best use of human time. If we only had machines capable of doing that.

- llamaLord 4y agoI hate TS, I use proper OOP style JS with JSDOC and Webstorm type-hints. Never have any of the issues you mention and even better, never have to deal with the fucking Typescript compiler...
