Yeah — TypeScript is great in a vacuum, and if you’re working on an established project that’s got all the tooling configured perfectly it can be a pleasure… but if you’re starting from the ground up, it can be a god awful nightmare.

I think typescript is great but the heavy, heavy dependency on starter kits that come with a dozen build dependencies configured to within an inch of their life is a testimony to how much of TypeScript is voodoo.

Every dependency you add to a project requires new incantations and prayers and probably some sort of sacrifice.
