Separating the design-time logic from run-time logic brought me up to speed with #typescript development.
#typescript affects (almost) only the design-time; as a newbie, I treat it as an _assignment checker_.
In run-time, a #typescript program runs as #javascript. No dynamic casts.
It seems to me that my efficiency and productivity are boosted because of switching to #typescript from #javascript. It's only a couple of days, though, but I already see that because of type/assignment checking my code is better organized than before.
@crnkovic static typing practically tests (code-level) contracts at compilation time.
It also enforces developers to add some structure to things, and this structure is explicit and (self)documented by types.
After experience with both. I strongly prefer statically typed languages. It's not that it's impossible to work with dynamically typed codebases, and maintain them. But, it's not what I want to spend my time & effort on.
