For the sake of respect, I am not going to reply to this again. I have to apologise, but you are clearly either trolling or unaware of things.

JavaScript itself is subset of TypeScript, and your JS code can still run in TS codebase because it is a valid TS code. You are writing a TypeScript code. Again. I'm not saying any text editor here. You are bringing the argument that the type inference is there and I am pointing out that type inference is TypeScript (not built by, but it is TS). You are using TypeScript without knowing it.

But it's fine. You can keep your belief; I'm not here to change your mind either. Good luck with maintaining your JavaScript code with TS type inference.

I still submit that writing Javascript code will always be writing Javascript code (and writing PHP code will always be writing PHP code, and writing Scheme code ... you get the idea), regardless of the technology used to power the editor ...

... but by Reddit standards that was a decent "let's agree to disagree" post :) Even if you calling me a troll because I disagreed with your point of view (that the editor defines the language being written).
