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.

    If you aren’t using [favourite programming language] you are a terrible dev who should feel bad!

      Rust. The language is called Rust. And it should be used for everything!

    uhm, you can get pretty great code quality in JavaScript. And you can also get pretty bad code quality in TypeScript (or any typed language). Its about your attitude toward it.

    I’m okay with that because I don’t even know what Turbo 8 is.

    are you though? You seem upset that people aren’t using TypeScript.

    Refusing PureScript and Haskell is a signal that you don’t care about code quality.
