I get it, you love Typescript, a lot of people love that language, and so do I.

However, your title is clickbait and it can be misleading for beginners. The article is nice and well-written, but I'm going to have to disagree with some points.

In any case, here are some scenarios and downsides of Typescript:

Oups, spotted, I'm huge fan of TypeScript... In this article, I was trying to hide my love to TypeScript 🤣

To be fair, in my article, you can replace every reference to TypeScript by JavaScript. It also works.

My point are that both languages are very versatile.

Sure, you really love Typescript. I know you mean well.

However, it does not change the fact that some of your points are misleading, and the fact remains that Typescript is definitely not the only language you need to learn.

I'm just saying this for the sake of beginners who walk into this thread/post.
I don't want them to start thinking that all they need to learn is Typescript, because that is not true at all.

A more appropriate title and introduction would be, "Typescript is a versatile language and I love it."
