For Typescript, I dislike the extra typing. I have never missed autocompletion in Javascript. Where is the contradiction?

One would think that 20 additional characters per function don't really matter if you can save 100 keystrokes.

Compared to JavaScript, I have to press fewer keys when I write Dart. (This would be also true without shorthands like method cascades.)
