About the time I started learning modern JavaScript (~2015), Java developers were bemoaning the chaos of untyped languages for serious development. For me, it was nice not to have to worry about types for a while, and I resisted the move to TypeScript. If I wanted types, I'd go back to Java.
Fast-forward to this year, I was giving GraphQL a try, and the Getting Started guide I was following recommended the TypeScript path. Okay, why not? While it certainly has come a long way, TypeScript is still a land of quicksand. After wasting my time for a few days, I gave up. Better things to do with my life.
So I like the idea here. Do the minimum to get by, and otherwise try to ignore the madness.
