I dont get this defense of using JS.

Ok, maybe a dev is much faster writing JS because they keep stuff in their head better. But I’m assuming they also use third party libs, or functions that other devs in their team have written that they just need to call.

Typescript makes it easy for the IDE to show you what exactly you need to pass to call the teammate’s function (and this was the originally motivation behind typescript…improving MS dev tooling) without having to dig into the code or read the documentation.

And type inference means you’re rarely actually writing out the types. So I find it hard to believe that anyone writing a relatively complicated piece of code would be faster using JS over TS.

Small scripts and the like, sure. But complete complex applications? I doubt it.
