Of course, it’s not bad in an absolute sense (IMHO that doesn’t make any sense), but when some problem can be found only at runtime, when any proper compiler would catch that compile time, it’s hard to argue that it’s a good direction. Especially when TypeScript made it quite obvious what’s possible only with simple type checking.
