"In the FE world we have to jump through these hoops because there is no other choice than TypeScript.

"It's not really inference that is the problem - in other languages that use strictly nominal typing it'd could be accurately inferred that the type is wrong without all the ceremony (like OCaml 😉) It's more that TypeScript has chosen to be a strict superset of JavaScript which mandates that it uses a gradual and structurally typed system to handle the dynamism and warts of JS"
