OK let me get it straight, TS is great I use it, I like it, but I won't say that I would use it every single time, I won't use TS for making desktop applications or mobile applications, I would use it for frontend and frontend only, does this mean not for backend? NO, I would prefer using PHP for the backend, or python or even java.

Now the real point, I believe TS is a bit overrated, I am not saying that it's bad, I am just saying that TS is good, but you don't need to use it every single time, you can use JSDoc in most cases, because why do we use TS? Why do you think TS is used? Well one, it shows an error before compiling and prevents any error during compiling, but if you see it, you usually get an error at the dev console and you can use that to get to the source of the error if you have a side on side comparison of TS with JS, you will, of course, see that JS does not show any error before compiling, but that's OK, you need to check the dev console, now in case you don't want to use the dev console that a different thing, but if you ask me when I would use TS, it would be, it depends, let's just cut the crap, programming is a really alternative to everything job, you got angular, react, vue, and a bunch of other just for making UIs, you got java, python, rust, go just for backend, you got C, C#, C++ for making windows app and soo much more, that it's just a depends on the problem thing, imagine you have a problem, say you want to make the frontend of an application your corporate wants, but you team consists of 3 members, just 3, you 3 can just seat together side by side and write down the code using something simple, assuming that you won't get fired that quick, you just need to make a simple UI, all the complicated stuff is at the backend, fetching and displaying, that all, nothing fancy, no animations, no visuals, just plain text, all you can do is pick a simple framework, or even a library and get the job done, you can use JQuery with webpack to make your frontend, with webpack it makes it easy to have multiple files without any problem, all you just have to do it make simple functions with proper docs and voila! If you get fired, the new guy who replaced just because he has a PhD(for no reason why not to), all he has to do is read the doc! And let's be real, who does not read the docs? Well all have to, cause if we don't then there would be 100s of bugs in everyone's home, that is their systems would be infected with 100s of bugs.

So yes TS is not, but I would not say that I would use it for everything and every time, it's a real it depends on question just like everything in software engineering, is modular monolith better than microservices? Well it depends! So I would say yes TS wins because of it's before compile error, but if you use to much of TS, it's really not good, cause that just means you would need to make a lot of types, using any type to fix a type error that should not exist, now that's a problem. Plus who does not loves making fun of the things they use. I make fun of TS because I use it, I don't make fun of rust, because I don't even try to touch that thing! It's to overwhelming(skill issue) to use rust OK?
