I'm a bit of a outsider looking in being a manager that doesn't code much anymore but why the dislike of Typescript? I really don't see the downside. Transpiling doesn't make it 1:1 anymore but all devs seem to praise it.

Everybody babels anyway, so fussing about compiling[1] typescript is asinine.

[1] transpile is also a stupid word. It's a compiler, at least as much as javac is, or ghc when it used to spit out C code that then went through gcc.

I don't transpile my NodeJS code. I don't feel that makes me asinine.
