What difficulties have you encountered when working with TypeScript?

Answer from AI
- The need for additional build (transpilation) of the code before execution.
- Difficulties integrating with some old or untyped JavaScript libraries. It was necessary to search for or write
@typesdefinitions. - Entry barriers for new team members unfamiliar with typing.
- Sometimes excessive strictness of the type system in the early stages of development, requiring additional effort to accurately describe complex scenarios.
- Difficulties debugging transpiled code without using
source maps. - Increased build time on large projects, although this issue is minimized with modern bundlers.
