the added complexity isn't subjective though. typescript increases the complexity of the language so it can handle typing and type errors. it's right in the name.
and, man, i don't know, if your workflow includes refreshing blindly and hoping that you've fixed your bug, typescript isn't going to save you. you need a much deeper level of re-education and tooling than just a type system to get rid of that bad habit.
You're clearly wrong if you think I need a re-education of how to debug software. I don't run into these issues with the language because I've never relied on the falsehoods you're touting and learned the language without using training wheels.
that's an interesting paper, for sure. but it does kind of undermine the original point of saying typescript is less error-prone than javascript, right? neither typescript or javascript (or coffeescript for that matter) were associated with a higher or lower number of bug fix commits.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
For me, Typescript will always be the default tool, it's simply a better choice.
For me, it doesn't provide enough value yet for me to implement it in any code base I'm working on.
