I was wrong about TypeScript part 1

- #Type Safety

- #TypeScript
- TypeScript's type system is good but requires proper configuration.
- TypeScript lacks concrete error return types, making error handling verbose and unclear.
- The 'any' type in TypeScript undermines type safety by allowing unchecked type casting.
- TypeScript is not strict by default, which can lead to unsafe practices like using the '!!' syntax.
- Function type declarations in TypeScript do not enforce return types strictly, unlike languages like Rust.
- TypeScript's type system is structural and compile-time only, lacking runtime enforcement of type contracts.
