Typescript is fun because when something breaks I get to play “am I stupid or is Typescript?”

It seems to be about 50/50 and I get a little ego boost when it’s not my fault. Go is no fun, when something breaks in Go I know for sure I did something stupid.

My favorite is when Typescript/Angular magically fixes itself, which I swear happens even though nobody believes me. Sometimes I think JavaScript held together with duct tape might not be completely fool-proof.

That said the “tele-sense” or whatever it’s called that tells you the errors as you type is truly awesome and so I put up with the weirdness and occasional wasted time.

The word you're looking for is "IntelliSense". https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense
