By all accounts, TypeScript has been a big success for Microsoft. I've seen loads of people sparkle with joy from dousing JavaScript with explicit types that can be checked by a compiler. But I've never been a fan. Not after giving it five minutes, not after giving it five years. So it's with great pleasure that I can announce we're dropping TypeScript from the next big release of Turbo 8.

Honestly, having used both extensively at different points for years I can say that I understand his approach for smaller projects, but Typescript coupled with coding standards, makes working with large teams and large code bases 1000x better. Being able to immediately know what data is being passed where at a glance is invaluable.
