Thanks. That makes sense. In my experience, it has been mainly junior engineers making a big deal about types. I get it. It's hard to understand the quirks without enough experience using JavaScript. But I don't think that makes typed languages easier. Perhaps it's a matter of taste for the most part, but I would guess if those junior engineers really learned modern JavaScript, they'd question whether they really wanted to pay the TypeScript tax. Building an identical project in both would be a great lesson in trade-offs.
