TypeScript isn't primarily meant to be enjoyed.

It is meant to be a much better alternative to Javascript while dealing with the fact that the underlying engines use and existing programmers were used to Javascript.

That said I absolutely enjoy TypeScript, but that might be because I suffered from having to deal with Javascript from 2006 until TypeScript became available.

I have the exact same reason I enjoy typescript - raw dogging js before was an absolute nightmare of testing every single function for every possible value that might be thrown in and being able to handle shit data everywhere.

god-awful code.

As a C# dev, backend typescript is fantastic and the type system is light years ahead of C# in expressivity.

But the learning curve... no shit.
