But that's not what TypeScript does. The joke in the meme doesn't really even make sense.
A better analogy would be you have a basket that's explicitly labeled "Fruit" and TypeScript complains if you try to put laundry detergent in it because you said it's supposed to be a basket of fruit.
This meme was clearly made by someone who doesn't use or understand TypeScript.
It was made by someone who doesn't understand types, period.
Curious if it's the same wizard who was explaining that Linus doesn't understand programming because he has opinions on arm vs Intel architecture. EVERYONE programs in JavaScript anyways and my JavaScript always works on arm. Has Linus lost the plot?
Yeah most likely.
