Sometimes when we start learning Typescript we asume it will behave just like a regular typed language, but it won't, because at the end the browser will be consuming Javascript, so you definitely want to learn how Javascript works and then you will understand better what is actually Typescript doing for you.

That makes a lot of sense! It's definitely the most unique type system I've used because of how gradual it is - I can definitely understand the benefit of understanding the underlying systems first before tacking something extra on top.
