Typescript is an abomination. Been writing JS just fine for 30 years without it.

Typescript is an abomination.

Why? (I've only used vanilla JS and jQuery.)

Not OP, but generally the arguments I've been told are:

Microsoft is an abomination (true).

"Don't make me explicitly state types; it is too confusing!" Installs 20 libraries including fucking pad left to eek out basic functionality.

Strongly typed haters are right up there with curly brace haters.

Reflexive MS hatred is just as dumb as any other kind of reflexive hatred. TypeScript is free and open source, so what's the danger?
