Problems with TypeScript
&quot;Is Typescript worth it?&quot;<p>No, but not because the tired diatribe on typing, but because JavaScript nowadays is mostly good enough... As long as we remember what its goal is and we don&#x27;t use it for anything more than its intended purpose.<p>That aside, everything in that post re soundness vs unsoundness was what I used to know (and was taught in college) as &quot;strong&quot; and &quot;weak&quot; typing, is the redefinition recent? Was I taught incorrectly? That aside, C is weakly typed (and there are long, long discussions on it) but I&#x27;ll say that, if it&#x27;s good enough for C, then being for or against it becomes pretty much subjective (obligatory IMO, my saying that at all is <i>also</i> subjective).<p>After all, it&#x27;s a flamewar that&#x27;s been going on for decades. Typescript certainly isn&#x27;t going to solve it.
