This is going to sounds super hash and will probably ruin a lot of folks days, so I'm sorry, but...I love how these snooty elitist overgeneralized denunciations of "those typeless savages" pass for reasoned argument and justification within the hoards of the type zealots.

When I think in reality, it's just people who were forced to use TypeScript because their workplaces gave them "no choice" (always a choice folks), are expressing their pent up rage, through a sort of weird, Stockholm-syndrome projection response--"Those non-hostages have it way worse than us, they're actually beneath us: subhuman even. I'm thankful to our Typed overlords for giving us dignity, refinement, and superior codebases. All praise the ascetic self-flagellatory TS gods."




This is absolutely on point and just had me cry laughing. Thank you.
