I wholeheartedly agree! But a lot of people don't want to be challenged by the language when there are already plenty of other challenges in their personal and professional lives.

With TypeScript you don't need to think half as much, and the thing your boss generally cares about (whether the feature shipped) gets done.

That seems a bit dangerous, to be honest. TypeScript has an unsound type system. If you don't think carefully, you might end up shipping runtime type errors.
