TypeScript: In defense of any

Read Original

This article argues against the common dogma of avoiding TypeScript's 'any' type. It defends 'any' as a useful and practical feature for specific scenarios like migrating a JavaScript codebase, working with third-party libraries that have poor type definitions, and temporarily bypassing type-checking during development when the developer is confident in their code.
