Sorry about my Microsoft remark. It was kind of inflammatory. I didn't originally have it in my comment but was inspired to add it in for some reason. I try to keep my inflammatory rhetoric out of HN.

TypeScript's best feature (imo) is its (optional) static-typing so if you don't like static-typing to begin with, then yeah, it doesn't have much else to offer you.

To each his own.
