Consumer just needs to write 4x as many unit tests to make up for lack static typing. Hopefully the library author has done the same or you probably shouldn't use that library.

4x as many unit tests

Well... the people fighting against TS are simply not testing things thoroughly. So they are not writing those tests.

Some times that's even perfectly ok. But you don't want to build things over a complex library that has this attitude.

(Except for svelte. It's meaningless for svelte, as TS was always a really bad fit for it.)

It's ok, just do what my company does and write no tests at all!
