> 9 out of 10 JS developers I have worked with do not know how equality and object memory references work in JavaScript. They do not understand deep vs. shallow equality. They are barely aware of type coercion. When faced with a TypeScript error, their primary concern is shutting up the compiler. By any means necessary.

I think the exact same problems exist with JS no? Except now there isn’t any compiler to shut up, and things just silently fail.
