I will yell at the cloud too. I get why TypeScript exists. For large projects it really helps.

But loosing one of the main benefits of scripting languages for some convenience? You could argue that you use webpack anyway. Same question applies here...

If you have to use JS anyway, be glad that you can have an extremely shallow toolchain for deployment for smaller projects. I am not a JS dev, I just use it for stabbing at bits occasionally.
