I keep seeing posts of some drama with typescript. What happened?

Thanks :) I didn't see anyone mention the points made by the svelte guys https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35892250 which is a shame since I thought they made better points than the dramatic "type gymnastics" argument haha (i am biased toward type-safety, as long as there is idiomatic, algebraic data types w/ pattern matching)

Overall it sounds like a major change with a few minor/moderate benefits, but it's their choice and time will tell if it was worth it :P
