Is it really a healthy discussion? At least with respect to JS vs TS (which is the most common argument as it's a choice every front end team has to make), it's blogs saying "fuck types, I like JS only." I'm not going to step in and tell another team what to use but whining about the difficulty of static typing is just not a productive conversation. I've been converted by the top level comment; I'm not longer interested in entertaining the discussion.
