This is the most simplistic statement.
"I like Typescript because I like my confort zone"
"make it dead simple for OOP folks" ... and the discussion is dead. you should have opened with that and admit it's what you know, it's your confort zone.
when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

And yet here you are doing JS to pay your rent.
Instead of staying in your old position doing cute little LINQ expression thingies.
let me guess , you also despise CSS?, UX?, DX? animated transitions?

And as for OOP being around for ages, you shot yourself in the foot there.
you're defending a pattern built in the dark ages refusing to consider that "hey , maybe we know a bit more than 60 years ago"

All i'm hearing is "I struggle with js and feel more confortable with typescript. it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and java-y"

yes, typescript is easier for the oop folk that jumped ship and came over to js. we get that. it's a fact.
trying to convince the world the it's better then js is just being obnoxious.

Your injecting odd thoughts into everything I have discussed. I don't agree with anything you've implied. It's falsey. BTW it is better for one reason alone, intellisense always works!
