PS: Benny,

On a personal note, it is not my intention to start a TypeScript flame war. I can see you're thoroughly enjoying TypeScript, and why not it is masterfully crafted and if you have taken the time and effort to master it, then a joy to use, I'm sure.

As I see it TypeScript's primary benefit is in its type safe handling of objects.

Lets just say, I am a javaScript purist.

Good luck with your TypeScript TV channel I liked your linux on win piece, and next time I dip into TypeScript I will be sure to check out your other articles.

I appreciate your positive response. Just to clarify, I value engaging in constructive discussions. I dedicated a significant amount of time, actually several years, to become proficient in TypeScript. That's why I've made the decision to create a video tutorial series to share my experience and help others save time in their learning journey.

I understand and respect your stance as a JavaScript purist. There is actually an ECMAScript Proposal to introduce Type Annotations in JavaScript. This development might potentially change the landscape, and it's possible that I might become a JavaScript purist myself in the future. 😀

However, at this moment, I personally find TypeScript to be the better programming language and appreciate its advantages.
