I like TypeScript because it gives me an edge over my competitors. I look forward to Microsoft coming up with more abstractions to further constrain and slow down my competition and keep lowering the productivity bar in my industry - Microsoft was right when they said that TypeScript would make my life easier.

you are sarcastic, but what i noticed is that languages on top of javascript improve the hiring pool.

i already experienced that earlier with coffeescript.

because javascript is so ubiquitous, everyone has to learn it, and there is a large pool of inexperienced javascript developers.

however, only those who are actually skilled will apply for a position that requires coffeescript or typescript.

I think this is only because tech hiring is broken and has been broken for decades.
