That's interesting to hear. I started out with a formal CS education learning Java & C in school. I've found that traditional CS education doesn't really take this approach. A lot of what I was exposed to was very OOP-heavy practices that emphasized data modeling via class hierarchy. To me, the expressiveness of the Typescript system (being able to do things like sum types or branded types) is what unlocked a lot of potential despite not being a compiled language.
