JS is broken and TypeScript is a way of fixing it but at the end of the day, you use Frameworks anyway like Anguular.

If you just want to hack around it, hey just use it as any other scripting language

JS isn’t any more or less broken than every other language under the sun

PHP has a lot of issues in comparision to java and other languages.

JS has also missing features and semantic which got added through typescript.

I don't want to dismiss langauges because of this but saying 'every other language' is not true and not true in an objective sense either.
