How so?
GP complained about JS lack of types. I pointed out that most JS actually benefits from types, given it's typically authored in TS. No moving goalposts, no "true Scotsman" arg.

- chrisweekly 1y agoMy point was agreeing with the GP's underlying point that types matter. Yes it'd be crazy to do serious programming work in JS without types -- that's why ~nobody does that. It's why TypeScript exists and ~everybody doing serious work on JS projects uses it. Their argument was almost a strawman, it refers to a hypothetical situation that doesn't pertain. Serious JS programmers use TS.
