I’ve been coding professionally for 39 years. ts seemed very strange to me at first. Only even started using it because I had to do some customization in NetSuite and some third party type and build support in ts made comprehensible the typically-stilted and insane NetSuite js required by SuiteScript.

Now I’m addicted to it. Specifically the lightweight and easy to use _interface_ directive feeds my practice of self-documenting code with good doc and reusable data structures.
