A few days ago, David Heinemeier Hansson announced that Turbo 8 is dropping TypeScript . I'm okay with that because I don't even know what Turbo 8 is. However, over the past few years, some frontend programmers have tried to sell me the idea that "TypeScript is useless, just use tests". I think people with such opinions either don't care about code quality or simply don't know what TypeScript is. Here, I will explain why you should use TypeScript.

    After having to use TypeScript in a project, I don’t see much usefulness. It feels more like a weird linter, than an actual language with extra features. It’s tons of ugly boilerplate for little gain, at least so far in my experience.

      It is a weird linter, and it can definitely be misused. It saves me hours of work at least a couple times a month, however.
