Not true, in the absolute worst case,
unknownis what you should be reaching for, but it's pretty rare that you can't create some kind of type to interface with JS if it's not already got types. You can even use jsdoc comments as type hints in the JS too if you own that code.My not particularly hot hot-take: There's basically no legitimate use case for
anyapart from "I don't have time to type all this now, because I'm converting a massive project from JS to TS"There are some cases where
