Look into nullish coalescing and optional chaining. Sure, vanilla JS or react doesn't help with using a var as a function, but I can probably count on my left hand how many times I tried to do that. That doesn't warrant a completely new language. ps.: typeof is also a thing in vanilla JS

I have been writing TS all day every day for the last 5 years. I'm aware of null coalescing and optional chaining.

Every time people tell me "I just don't make type errors" I look through their issue tracker and find them everywhere.
