I think it is just a difference of experience, if you came from Javascript you may find annoying the constraints you have with TypeScript sometimes, but for me it is just natural and has the right amount of freedom coming from Java. I participated in a React Native course some months ago and the course app was written in Javascript, of course. After the end of the course I took the challenge of building it again in TypeScript. It certainly was not a very pleasant experience, but I don't blame TypeScript for that, there were various moments where I asked myself where on earth variable or property X came from because simply Javascript allows it to happen. I cannot blame TypeScript for doing its job. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
