What an utterly blind, self-centered view. Write good, readable code so you can actually maintain it and so your coworkers don't want to kill you.

I think vzq's point is that you can write good, readable code that doesn't do what the user wants. Same with other metrics that are ripe for navel-gazing like code coverage.

It's bordering on a false dichotomy... but I also believe that dynamic, untyped languages have proven exceptionally useful for rapid prototyping and iteration.

Except that prototypes never end up as just prototypes, they die or become the real app with lots of masking tape.

But you can do that in vanilla JS, too.

Even better, don't use JS at all if you don't have to.

You can write shitty code in TS too.
