Some people think better with typing information explicitly written out. Some people don’t. In my opinion it is a creativity thing. Some people like to make art that is photo realistic, some people like to make abstract art.
I understand both viewpoints. In my free time I vastly prefer late bound, dynamically types languages with robust reflection engineers built into their interpreters. For work, I heavily prefer late bound, strictly typed with reflection optional or minimal.
I think that’s fine if that’s how you like to work on your own, but I’d challenge anyone to do that and write better documentation while also getting a team or whole business to do the same. A huge strength of TS is that it gives people no choice but to document their work.
I didn’t say JavaScript… and I certainly wouldn’t choose TS for a personal project because I personally feel that its organization is terrible but I would choose TS over vanilla js for work projects because it does produce better group work and is easier to maintain long term because of the structure imposed on it.

Different people think differently.

Haha well that’s fair enough then!
