My impression of typescript is that if you do:

a = 1;

and elsewhere:

a = 2;

The ultimate value of 'a' will depend on the order in which those statements are executed, right?

A configuration language should surface that as an error and tell you where all of the conflicting references are.

Typescript does have const variables. But you can still often mutate the instances and there are many other reasons why a configuration language should be strictly free from side effects allowed in imperative languages.

If your tsconfig settings are strict enough this is a type error :)
