You still have bugs, you just haven't found them yet. When strict typing is not available you adjust and use other tooling and tests.

Of course with a big, venerable project the balance changes drastically. But an experienced single-person project should be doable with javascript for a long while and may even get to MVP faster by focusing on things that are essential.

I’ve been coding professionally for 39 years. ts seemed very strange to me at first. Only even started using it because I had to do some customization in NetSuite and some third party type and build support in ts made comprehensible the typically-stilted and insane NetSuite js required by SuiteScript.

Now I’m addicted to it. Specifically the lightweight and easy to use _interface_ directive feeds my practice of self-documenting code with good doc and reusable data structures.
