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.

    Only a few libraries announced dropping support due to their requirement generics. It’s not that big a deal. TS is still popular.

      I said a few, friend 😛 I agree it’s not a big deal, but for developers that are totally entrenched in that ecosystem it might be alarming. Hence OP’s post.
