Ask HN: Is TypeScript worth it?
I've been working with JavaScript for 20 years. And 5 years with TypeScript. And, well. I still am not convinced.<p>Too much overhead for me. I really dislike typing obvious things and boilerplate. Probably my fluency with JS is to blame. I don't need to see types and autocompletion. If I really need to — I just go to the source and inspect the source code, that is how I familiarise myself with the interface. I also think this makes one a better developer.
