TL;DR

I don't want to sound unconstructive [but I will]: I am already wasting my time in a love affaire with TypeScript therefore I will not try to convince you... if you have you reason (that are listed in the text I « ;dr ») then I will believe that they are valuable enough... Last time I read someone talking against TypeScript he completely missed the point (and I had to give my opinion there also)... it is because of him I « ;dr » you text... that is for sure a better argument than that other >>troll<<... For my part I am in love with that language so I do not think I could be convinced of anything wrong about it until something better comme to fill the same gap about JS... which I doubt will happen, at least not in my perspective... (fyi: I added your text on my reading list and will update my comment if I ever read it...)

EDIT: I am writing this edit and I didnt even yet published my comment... when I was about to go get the link for that >dude< I saw that post on medium that captured my attention...
