What's the point of using TypeScript if you type all of your code with `any` or worst part is you don't provide any types!?

P.S
If you're anti-typescript or any static linting tool, I know this will not prevent any runtime errors, but this is part of the testing/code quality. My teammates do not care for quality, and I'm tired of it.

"What's the point of using TypeScript"

...period.

...and from what I've seen, it's main point seems to be the to improve JavaScript by adding all the pain of strict typing on top of all the already existing pain of no typing, giving you the benefit of feeling like you're writing in a real language, for the price of removing all the benefits of both vanilla JS and properly typed languages.

Typescript just feels like overkill/more code sometimes. If there’s no critical reason to use typescript in a project than I’d rather use good old Eslint and another code quality extension like deep scan or something.
