I feel conflicted because just a couple years ago most comments to typescript articles were like the one above. Now that people are finally coming around and seeing the huge benefits to adopting it, comments like the one above are becoming more rare. People are still hung up on typescript not being perfect. Well perfect is the enemy of the good, and the good typescript brings is immense. Working on front end code across a 40 person team used to be a nightmare.

Dynamic typing is great when you're learning to code because compiler errors/warnings are intimidating. Once you do know how to code the compiler actually becomes a useful assistant that increases productivity. Helping you avoid dumb mistakes and make refactoring much easier.
