Neil Douglas I respectfully disagree. This isn't a religious take, but a practical guide for choosing between JavaScript and TypeScript in 2023. It's a persuasive article, not just personal preference. While "use the tool that makes you happy" sounds good, it's not practical in a professional setting with real financial stakes. Why not write an article sharing your own perspective?
Thanks for your comment, Neil. I feel like I presented a fair argument for why someone should use TypeScript in 2023. Do you have an argument for why someone should pick JavaScript instead? I only used the word "need" once in the summary, and I may edit that out because I don't want to be dogmatic about it. This has just been my experience.
