Back when I was still doing JS stuff, switching to TS was so good for the developer experience. Yeah, there's still JS jank, and types are not validated at runtime, which was a pain in the backend (pun intended), but still I much prefer it to vanilla JS

You know, you can validate data structures at runtime... and write unit tests... TS is not a substitute for those things.
