> TypeScript is incredibly safe I expect this comment is from a person who has not used strongly typed languages extensively. Is that true? When "1" == 1, and "1" can cross a wire and be assigned to a number, when there are no ints... Perhaps I have not given Typescript enough rope, I only spent eighteen months immersed It is not shit, but it is very outdated IMO. I have been known to be wrong, I admit, but all these "unconventional " casts, together with the standard ones, are exactly what frustrated me

Well for one, using double equals is evidence you don’t know JS well enough. Many years before Typescript came along the JS community was prohibiting “1” == 1 style coercions.
