That's a good point, I imagine doing that would screen out companies run by language snobs.
My go to for this is to say "I don't think Typescript is needed most of the time". The snobs look at you like you just farted in their face.
But having done some coding interviews where time and space complexity were a factor, I found it easier to succeed with Python.
- JuanPosadas 3y ago> "I don't think Typescript is needed most of the time This is a terrible example, typescript (especially in 2023) is basically free with most setups (including vanilla) and easy to ignore for velocity then optionally enforce typechecking later. A much better hill to die on would be large frameworks/tooling like react/angular/webpack.
