Why do you think the type system is weak? I was using PureScript (Haskell derivative) prior to TypeScript, and I have found its typing capabilities to be very impressive.

I think maybe by "weak", the GC is referring to how the guarantees of TypeScript are not very "strong", i.e. TypeScript is not a "sound" type system.

I’m the sense that it allows any types and incremental adoption?
