This is indeed possibly interesting forSure:
null for sure

I am now adicted and dependent to the type sytem... when I do small stuff in JS I always end up changing my extension to .ts because it is way more easy... so the tradeoff you are talking about is exactly waht it is (a trade off) → I am lazy as F'ck so I prefer TypeScript but... it imply that I need to work more so I can relax about the types... The main point is about the information the type brings more than the safety or what else (at leat to me)... if I wasn't lazy and at the same time concerned about safety I would do everything in RUST perhaps...
