I'm pretty agnostic about the whole thing. The topic has been done to death already. Types are great, but some ways of handling types can get in the way sometimes, and the excessive type declarations in older Java was just painful. Dynamic types can work fine too, but they work better in smaller projects than in bigger ones. Types do give you a lot more to hold onto, even if they're only compile-time types like Typescript. In large, complex projects where you're juggling a lot of different types, you want to know what you've got in your hands. That's pretty much my take. I don't hate anyone for having different ideas about it. But if you're going to use Typescript, don't use 'any'. At all. Unless you really don't know and the next step is figuring out what type you've got.
