Braindead yankees in the Twitter comments thinking arresting the orange man is going to magically fix the US and make it the best place on the planet lol

Yeah, I do agree that it’s a bit weird with TS. It’s fully understandable though, since it just transpiles to JS, which doesn’t have any type information during runtime. I think as far as webdev goes though, TS makes it at least somewhat bearable.

Sorry for the downvote btw - that wasn’t me!

I don’t really get the point of this. Of course the function will accept the value as a string if you specifically tell it to treat it as such (which wouldn’t even be possible without casting it to unknown first)?

It’s not just Reddit, methinks. I’ve seen a fair share of russophobia on here too, to be honest. Cold war propaganda still hard at work…
