Sometimes typing is more strict than js. U cant just type pure js and expect it to work

@Ubbe i guess it is made for marketing , ppl with java or .net programming background feel bad on js or php or any low typed langage. Typescript is there to tell them "ok come on, we will become typed for u"

@devapsarl @Ubbe Static typing has nothing to do with "marketing" ffs. It's about static analysis, programmer efficiency and most importantly proper code architecture. If anything I would say people afraid of types are the worse programmers because they don't understand the importance of architecture, which btw is the single most important thing in any medium to large sized project

@12bitfloat things end up typed in all ways.
But i agree that the developer in more envolved in the memory management with typing.
But i am still happy that we dont use C pointers to manage memory even better. -
@devapsarl The C type system is one of the worst static type systems there is. It's arguably not even a proper static type system when you are required to do casts between unrelated types just to do dynamic memory management...
For fuck’s sake typescript !
