Did anyone else move away from TypeScript and feel like it was obviously the right call?
I moved away from TypeScript years ago, and honestly, I’d do it again without hesitation.
I know TS has a lot of fans and that’s fine. But I don’t think it’s the unquestionable improvement it’s often presented as. For some codebases and teams, sure, it helps. For others, it adds bloat, friction and a false sense of safety that makes even bugs more common than in standard JavaScript.
In most cases, I’d rather migrate a codebase away from TypeScript than keep doubling down on it.
For those of you who also moved away from TS: what made you do it, and how has that decision aged?
