> Typescript is just a hack on top of Javascript. Exactly, it makes it "more palpable". > The idea that TS is great but JS sucks is silly. Just to be clear, I absolutely did not say that. Instead, I'd rather agree with your statement that TS only makes things better. But there is only so much it can do in that ecosystem, even if a good type system does notably improve things. Everything that's below that is still what it was.

> Exactly, it makes it "more palpable". Typo: Palatable, obviously, not palpable. Too late to edit.

  > Palatable There's no accounting for taste, but... aren't we still taking about polished turds on top of a pile of excrement? "Palatable" is not the word I expected to see in this subthread.

    I resent your comment, it's very distasteful.
