If I'm told to still use === in typescript, it's not actually a statically typed language.

  It's not a statically typed language. No one is claiming it is. It's a dynamic language with static types.

    Nonsense. If I need to keep using === because the type might actually be something different at runtime, it doesn't have static types.

      It has static types because the compiler won't let you change a variable's type. It's exactly as statically typed as C#. Both allow explicitly-declared dynamic variables, but they're disabled by default. === is incidental syntax required to maintain the goal of being a superset of JS.
