While I'm not going to debate the main question of this article, I will go on and describe my experience with TS.

I didn't plan to learn JS or TS. I just "had to", at some point, as my company made some sudden changes.

2 years later, I'm able to write pretty decent TS code, regardless of the frameworks used. However, I can't stand JS. It's a PITA for me to read / write plain JS.

But that's just my subjective experience. Maybe the fact that for many years I wrote Java and PHP code had something to do with how I perceive native JS.
