So it looks like Typescript is now entering Stage 3 of the “JavaScript-Adjacent Cycle”, characterized by thought leaders shifting the ”contrarian” opinion that, actually, <insert popular thing> is bad and not even that much better than <clearly more verbose vanilla JS implementation>. This is inevitably followed by larger scale backlash, with said technology eventually receding into the background to make way for the next “big thing”. CoffeeScript, backbone, React, JSX, the cycle continues.
