What I said is that I call bullshit on his 5 points. None of them are valid and they are just opinions of a developer who hasn't put the effort in and isn't providing concrete examples of what is actually wrong. I actually find it difficult to understand why this is even on the front page of HN, maybe it is a slow news day?

I feel that my point is proven with a successful multiple year open source Typescript library.

Great documentation? That's subjective. I'd start with a deep reading of the official docs as they are quite good: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/

That only proves that it's possible to do, not that the language facilitates it or that certain modifications to the language/ecosystem wouldn't greatly improve the process. The point of the article is the latter, not the former.

No. What you said was:

True, I paraphrased what I said so that matt could hopefully understand a bit better that I did indeed read the blog post. I want my 10 minutes back please.
