No, and I am still in favor of static typing. But I also don't think it's purely up to team discipline. Something about typescript (or more aptly, javascript) incentivizes crazy typing more than other languages. Luckily, the last few years appears to have had more emphasis on designing languages to take these kinds of incentives into account, so I still think the future is bright.

Definitely not more than other languages. Check out template metaprogramming in C++ or some of the OTT generics in Rust.
