> And the inverse—where JavaScript devs complain that TypeScript types are overly complex and verbose—is just a symptom of the same principle. Those types are complicated because your interface is complicated!

Part of it may also be due to the limitations of TypeScript. Structural typing is not always the best choice. ADT support is also not the best.

I definitely have wants for the TS type system, particularly in the area of nominal typing. But it’s usually not this IME. It’s usually that untyped JS often is written in an overly permissive style where anything goes, or where state and data flow is a big ball of mud, or both.
