> The whole point of static types (well one big reason at least) is to improve the actual code quality.
I have worked on multiple typescript projects that had terrible code quality. Types do not make you write SOLID code.
I find functional programming and well-used functional patterns do result in higher quality code. Typescript’s type system makes writing functional code more difficult. The documentation even recommends against it[1].
IMO typescript is easy to prescribe as a panacea, “just use typescript”, whereas understanding how to write SOLID code takes time.
