That's not what a leaky abstraction is.

0 comments

An abstraction that doesn't properly hide what's under the hood and requires people to still be aware of it. That's exactly what TS is.

Ts doesn’t abstract away Js.

It’s a superset of Js, almost the “opposite” of an abstraction (at least in the common intent of an abstraction)
