I don’t really get the appeal of strongly typed languages. Can’t you just use try/catch blocks, and/or use functional programming and return early if the data structure of whatever you’re working with isn’t what you expected?
I guess it can help older code easier to maintain because the expected data structure is right there, but you could also just include it in a comment above the function.
I personally find TS slows down initial production of a project and raises so many unnecessary errors.
Is there some huge benefit that I’m missing? Because I don’t really get the appeal. I mean, I do on some level, but I don’t really understand why so many people are absolutely obsessed with TS.
