Apparently an unpopular opinion, but actually strong types are useful above and beyond editor linting errors. - Jit optimizations - Less error checking code paths leading to smaller footprints - Smaller footprints leading to smaller vulnerability surface area - less useful: refactorability Don't get me wrong, I love the flexibility of JavaScript. But you shouldn't rely on it to handle your poorly written code.
