Discussion on: I used to think TypeScript is a waste of time. Now I changed my mind.

But, having said all that, your conclusion is that you won't be using it on the majority of your projects.

I've used it on one project and I found it intriguing. But yes, it takes time and effort to reap the benefits. I think my opinion is similar to yours: TS isn't rubbish, it is well thought out and potentially useful, I just haven't figured out if the benefits are big enough to justify the effort.

I agree! It is well thought out, but I think it has a long way to go, and definitely isn't for everyone, all the time. :)

I'm just curious, what do you mean by "ts has a long way to go", except for your documentation point (which I don't really agree with, the examples of "complex types" you listed arent that complex actually, the only time you can have some problems is when going in the complex dependent type teritory), not trying to say ts doesnt have problems, actually, I bumped into a lot of them myself, but your article doesnt seem to point any major ones
