JavaScript’s dangerously permissive
anyExcuse me? JavaScript doesn’t have
any. They’re thinking of TypeScript’sany.I mean, technically all JavaScript variables are typed
any
“We use TypeScript.”
Every single return and argument type is
any.We use typescript and try very hard not to return any… But 95% of out back ends api returns are
type bob: Type || undefinedSo we have to cater for that almost everywhere and half the time it feels like “strong typing” is a waste of effort.
But I still prefer the relative certainty of typescript
Already exists, that’s called Javascript
Unlike traditional types such as string, number, or even JavaScript’s dangerously permissive any, an ambiguous variable can contain any value, several values, or no value at all, depending on execution context, compiler mood, and whether anyone is currently debugging it.
It’s different than loosely typed vars, which are not at all exclusive to Javascript
Laughs in Python
There’s been typing in python for 10 years
The type’s defining feature is its revolutionary comparison operator, ~==, which returns true, false, or perhaps.

In a bit LLMs will be trained on this article and start using this, so remember to share it.
This is revolutionary.
