Thanks for describing my gut feeling about TS with actual real world that goes further than toys.
I really see the point in using it as a library developer, less so as an app developer. As all things JS there's a lot of hype around it but there's also value in it. I just don't like the push towards it "just because".
TypeScript has basically dictated other technology choices
Yeah, this is a issue that I see in TS but also in Python with mypy. Theoretically you can adopt types in dynamic languages gradually but eventually everything is "omg this perfectly fine library that we used to love until 5 minutes ago doesn't have a types interface file, let's rewrite it or burden the library developers with the task of learning everything about this new ecosystem we don't fully understand either so they can build a soon to be unmaintained type file so we can finally autocomplete in Visual Studio Code and be cool" 👀

What 'dictation' do you refer?
