Sounds like good evidence nobody really wants to write TypeScript.

I mean, I find TypeScript fun to write. The only thing I really dislike about it is configuring the tools (tsc, eslint, etc). It's a great language when everything's setup and you disallow all the ugly JSisms with your linter and tsc.

Things are getting easier. Many of the JavaScript runtimes support TypeScript out of the box now.
