I totally agree with you. And as I stated in the article, I have some significant C# experience myself. Maybe it's that experience that keeps me from levelling any of the "standard" complaints against TS (e.g., "It's much more verbose and it's harder to read.") And I was being sincere when I stated that I'd like to get some experience working on TS projects. (For whatever reason, all of my new gigs over the last 4-5 years have been in React shops where the decision had already been made to not use TS.)
This is why I'll freely admit that my little internal debate about language-or-not-a-language is almost certainly arbitrary. But I figured it might be fun to solicit some thoughts from the Dev.to community regarding my little "hang-up".
I know what you mean. I did a lot of Angular projects, where Typescript is a dependency anyway. But even in some VueJs projects, I used the TS option as well. I guess old habits die hard!
