Id argue the static typing is great, and the best part of Java that is otherwise ruined by OOP. Give me the types and leave out all the OOP factory garbage, and you are left with the best parts. That’s what typescript ends up being.
Typescript is significantly better than java imo, in that it can figure out what the right object shape is on its own for the most part, rather than needing to write another file for every intermediate data object in a process flow
