Well, TS is just JS with strong typing and type annotations. It’s almost the same language, just adding guard-rails and safety checks that the base language doesn’t have.

There’s a bit of fiddling with configuration and using npm, but it’s not much overhead. There’s plenty of tsconfig settings to customize the process for your need, but most the defaults are quite sane.

Entirely depends on your skillset and company. That might be true somewhere, but seems strange.

I do recommend you pick up typescript though. It will forcibly teach you some good habits, expectations, and some more base understanding of what you’re actually doing.

Yeah, the rich 😎

But it’s not the truth, and there are so many first hand accounts of US officials saying exactly otherwise. Stay closed minded if you like, but you are wrong.

That last bit is incorrect and basically propaganda. If you care to learn why, this video is amazing (but long) https://youtu.be/RCRTgtpC-Go
