I also hate microsoft. I worked with their piece of shit browser for 20 years. From ie3 onward they all sucked and lagged behind. Their OS was complete garbage and somehow they managed to penetrate like 90% of the desktop market.
but beyond that typescript i find is cognitive overload for someone who considers themselves an expert at vanilla javascript. It more than doubles the development time. I rarely use the inflections because 50% of the time it points to "any" so its utterly useless...and these kids who claim "but you won't get an undefined error!" is just well fix your fucking undefined error when you see it...is my response. WHy do I need to 3x my dev time and hurt my brain in the process so some jackass doesn't have to worry about an undefined variable.
I also think the reason MS released TS is because they were unable to find good devs who knew JS. ALl that typeshit in other languages (most enterprise crap like java and .net/c#) could now all be converted to ts devs without having to rehire. TS is for offshore teams imo.
That being said I will say on a team of 50+ devs on the same codebase I would vote for typescript becuase you will get a shit load of js spaghetti otherwise from these people who can't be bothered to understand js.
