    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.

    Also why is HCL supposedly the 9th most popular "programming language" (which it isn't anyway)?
