The core functionality of Typescript of adding basic type hints to JS is definitely better than writing plain Javascript, but the type system feature set is way beyond it's peak and deep in diminishing returns territory. I realize that this complexity may be required to gradually convert a 'worst case' Javascript code base into 'correct' Typescript, but IMHO most new Typescript code should limit itself to a simple subset of the type system.

I've been coding C++ most of my life, and I must say, TS is starting to look more and more like C++ (which definitely isn't a good thing because it lures programmers into complexity).
