Article lacks any actual, factual reservations, but rather complains about some code that didn't work a year ago and the code of course has been lost. I don't get the point of sharing this writeup. I guess author just posted some text he wrote up for a internal company discussion.

Opinions are like buttholes, everone has one.

I wish I had the actual code since it was pretty fun to write and break the compiler but it was too long ago. I am still gonna see if I can figure it out again.

I think I was pretty clear that it was all just my opinion :) If you read the end of the post I said that maybe I'm just worrying over something that's a non-issue, so by all means, steer me in the right direction rather than critiquing the fact that I'm expressing my opinions ;)

I'd like to also point out that my main issue (that JS itself doesn't have types, so it's impossible for TS to 100% enforce it) still stands even after a year.

No, that point never made sense.

The fact that TS isn't sound has nothing to do with the fact it compiles to JS. If you wanted a sound type system, you should have checked out flow.
