And I definitely think less of you as you as a developer as you openly admit to dogmatic and myopic prejudice regarding the nuances of typing systems and the complexity of software development contexts.

Interesting. Would you have had the same response if GP stated:
"I've worked with my fair share of vanilla JS devs who refuse to acknowledge the benefit of testing. Most of them bemoan the upfront cost of testing everything without realizing the benefits of it. I absolutely think less of them as developers."

Again another binary dichotomy that doesn't neatly fit reality. I imagine the number of developers that would unilaterally dismiss all testing practices is very small.

I mean, I'm not going to say it to someone's face but I'll definitely be judging them. Most of those who have pushed back against typescript have done so for similarly dogmatic reasons or even straight ignorance (I dont want to learn something new), so I'm not sure who is really the winner or loser in this situation.
