Typescript type system is both powerful and lacking, and with a syntax that is horrendous to do anything complex. It gets even worse than regex in the "write-only" direction. And you can do black magic but at the same time very basic things are still not possible. I would argue that the Python type system is actually better because you can build on it with regular Python instead of typescript weirdness and because you can use it at runtime. The fact that typescript does not support any kind of reflection makes it very limited for a script language. Rust type system on the other hand is also limited in refection but it is not a scripting language so it's more acceptable, and at least it integrates very nicely with features such as pattern matching and control float which you don't have in TS. TS also has a way too complex option list which is becoming nearly as annoying as ESLint to configure, with basic safety disabled by default and rules that are just annoying and add no safety whatsoever in the "strictest" config.
