My day to day value from typescript is that when you’re on a make things happen team that’s burdened by type pendants or grouchy C#/java/r/whatever “devs” who find themselves career “transitioning” to JavaScript/web-apps throw them typescript as a Turing Tarpit & then everyone shuts up and then makes a thing. Dumb arguments get relegated/channeled into PR/issues on the tsconfig.
I say that half in jest but one of the dumbest & most destructive things in software engineering is tribalism or militant belief systems. Having a “neutral” way to deal with them (or something like “data” seeming like it’s neutral) once and for all does wonders for productivity
People who don’t like or trust typescript, what’s your good-faith case against it. Personal productivity or ugly/confusing syntax are valid reasons I think
