Shared subject first, then similar wording. They may agree or disagree.

• A proprietary language licensed from Microsoft had zero chance in the JavaScript ecosystem: TypeScript had to be open source or nobody would come. AHAnders Hejlsberg13 May 2026TypeScriptJavaScript
• Because its types are erased before the program runs, TypeScript can afford not to be sound: checking 99% beats the 0% JavaScript checked, and buys features a sound language cannot offer. AHAnders Hejlsberg13 May 2026TypeScriptJavaScript
• React and TypeScript developers are infantilized by the ecosystem's thought leaders; anything beyond a simple CRUD app will need generics, mapped types and memoization. DMDillon Mulroy6 Nov 2023TypeScriptJavaScript
• TypeScript's type annotations cost more in friction than they return in safety, and a front-end framework is better off written in plain JavaScript. DHDavid Heinemeier Hansson6 Sept 2023TypeScriptJavaScript
• A language can keep changing without a Python-2-to-3 break, as long as code written under the old and the new rules can be mixed freely in one program. ARAlice Ryhl20 May 2026Python
