Everyone loves TypeScript. There are a lot of good reasons to use TypeScript, but I am going to give you 7 really good reasons not to.

    I’m so bored of people bringing up NaN !== NaN when talking about “javascript’s wonkiness”. This is defined by IEEE for the floating point standard and it appears in any other language using IEEE 754 (which is the majority)

      You shouldn’t attempt comparing 2 floating point numbers with simply == (or === in JavaScript) in most cases and in most languages anyways.

      Totally agree. Moreover I can not think of a valid scenario where you would use such a comparison

    A reason not mentioned here which is the only reason I would not use TS is the setup it requires just to get started
