The typing system is way better than php, ruby or swift I feel like I'm using a language of a generation behind after using TypeScript.

good thing he didnt think of phps, ruby nor swifts typing system then.

he made a specific example and it holds true. languages like c# and java are just better at it and typescript is kinda in between. not great, but maybe good enough for a lot of people.
