Point 2 all the way. It's the single most reason that I hate typescript. There are some cases where having types helps, and I get that... But most typescript enthusiasts want to use it everywhere, and that's where I take issue. It doesn't belong everywhere. It's not needed everywhere, and it's not applicable everywhere. Typescript purists are like old school socialists. They want people to use typescript whether they need it or not, fuck context. I say fuck typescript in 50% of cases. I think TS is most useful for entities and libraries.
