Found myself muttering, “OP should try Purescript” to myself with every point the author made.

Purescript looks pretty cool, but the author was definitely positive on TypeScript warts. Like, I think the article's main take was, "it's easy to transition to TypeScript gradually, which is why it's a great language. But watch out: that capability also means you can never get to some 'pure' TypeScript."
