Today we talk with Matt Pocock, who comes from Oxfordshire, England.  As a big fan of TypeScript and maintainer of the Xstate library, we discuss the benefits and downsides of TypeScript.  As the discussion gets a bit heated, we debate the true value of TypeScript, and where it holds value to the programming community.
