Typescript is a real pain, I’m still trying to figure out why it’s so popular. The constant nagging and extra typing (no pun intended) when using it vs regular JavaScript makes it a pain. Then, there’s the extra parsing step to change it back to JavaScript. Idk I don’t see the value yet.

Edit: I say “parsing step “ because that’s what it is. There’s no “compiling” and “transpile” is just a ridiculous way of saying parse and output.
