Javascript is a standard, typescript is not. You’re at their whims if they ever want to change anything, break anything etc. If typing would get introduced in JavaScript, I would be on that instantly. But for now, I’d rather not touch typescript

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, thank you! Reminds me of my country’s anthem where we also forgo many parts and only sing the first and sixth instead of all 15.
