I've been writing Javascript for 20 years.
Typescript has done nothing for me.
Just a religious battle at this point.
(I'm okay with it on the server, but client side is just something something)

No one is trying to kill your puppy or taking your types away.
Competent people can have different opinions.
You have something that works for you. Great.
The fact that you don't understand why others don't share your opinion doesn't make them wrong or "incompetent" as you said in a different comment.
dhh literally took people’s types away. People don’t like that.
I used to be pretty religious about it NOT being on the server, but nowadays I just say to myself: Who am I to say JavaScript can't be used on the server?
What about PHP on the client side? Why is suddenly Python a server-side language when it's a scripting language better suited for data analysis and manipulation? WASM? Is not ASM an applications language instead?
This line of thinking broke me of these thought-limiting shackles, and now I think: If there's a toolchain to make it run on your target (client side browser, server side app, at your OS as a service script, embedded devices, whatever), then go for it.
