Who still uses typescript? It's not the mid-2010s anymore. Plain javascript is everywhere and I'd argue using a framework implies an immature project or team.

This is an absolutely baffling take to me. Like, I don’t know if you are even being serious or not.

According to StackOverflow’s 2023 Developer Survey, TypeScript is the fifth most popular language, beating C, C++, Java, C#, Rust, Go, etc.

I've never seen a large js codebase without typescript and I'm not even sure how you could realistically manage one without.

It’s a disaster. The most knowledgeable dev on my team regularly uses ChatGPT to solve typing issues. At this point we’ve lost the plot.

So you're explicitly identifying yourself as a non-authority (but in a weird tone that tries to suggest the opposite?).

Pretty simple: write boring code.

What? Typescript solves an entirely different problem than most frameworks (you mean frontend frameworks?).

Did I miss typings in vanilla Ecma, or...?
