I thought TypeScript was a waste of time
I thought TypeScript was a waste of time.
I thought it was more complexity than it was worth.
I thought Microsoft was just trying to make JavaScript feel like C#.
I was wrong.
The reality:
TypeScript saves me time by catching my errors earlier and providing me better autocomplete.
TypeScript isn't that complex in apps, and if it's "hard", it's typically because my design is wrong.
TypeScript is a superset of JS, so most my TS code is just JS.
