> If types are really that big a deal that you have a hard time writing an application without a compiler checking your types, you should reevaluate what you're doing.

Speaking of software snobbery, what does this statement reek of? This attitude is just as condescending and utterly non-constructive as the fanboyism you're describing.

I'm currently building a fairly large application using TypeScript both on the front end and backend specifically because I "have a hard time writing an application without a compiler checking your types". It's working great but according to you this is a valid reason to reevaluate what I'm doing?
