What Typescript drama is there? It's fantastic. It's been an industry standard for years. In my anecdotal experience the only people that hate it are juniors who did pure JS at their bootcamp and seniors that have refused to learn anything for the last 5 years.

or people used to work alone never having to go back to their code (e. g. bad consultancy jobs)

TS is amazingly powerful when it comes to refactoring. I swear it practically writes itself. Half the time by the time I fix all the compiler errors the refactoring is done. I barely need to think about it which means I can spend more time thinking about the best architecture. When people say they don't see how TS makes you more productive it just makes me think they never refactor their code.
