This is one of the reasons why I’ve been steadily moving away from TypeScript. Something like this—where an ergonomic feature fails because TypeScript has wrong types—happens ALL THE TIME. The more you work with the DOM the more often it happens. This is obviously frustrating and adds friction
But it also calls its very purpose into question. If TS is getting so many things wrong why should I trust its assurances about correctness or the presence or absence of defects? https://fosstodon.org/@rauschma/112391513559650253
