You are one of mine's, I know what you felt on those interfaces, actually at the end of the day, we end-up adding more code, and more code is more job because one have to maintain it too and sometimes you have to create some extra layer just to maintain in control all what you're doing.

I think that we have to respect the nature of JS, I prefer to use the types on Scala or Haskell (Some languages that I work with) than simulating them in JS.

People used to think that JS is the problem, and I think that the main problem are de coders.

That's actually a good point.

Typescript uses a bad types system. Why couldn't they have done something more innovative along the lines of Haskell?
