am I the only one who hates typescript?... development time is extended because you need to create all the types / interfaces for every variable and function. And you blow up the already complex / almost unreadable code with type definitions.

Some of the definitions can be very complex, a dev needs time to decrypt what other dev wrote and what I can finally use as a parameter in a function. Sometimes even if you put the correct parameters, it still doesn't work, and you need to fiddle around with webpack or other config files or spend hours on google to find a possible solution for a "simple" thing.

I just want to create code and solution... I used to work on a project with typescript only, and it was a huge pita, especially because the ts was very complex. Never again typescript projects for me.

I don't "hate" TS. I understand how useful it can be. But I don't enjoy working with TS code - especially in large codebases which have been touched by many developers, each with their own understanding of how to use TS. When it comes to the world of professional web development it's up to me to adapt to the project's coding requirements, not the other way around.

I agree and this has been my experience too

I don't thing your problem is Typescript.
