Totally new to programming. Everyone says learn JavaScript first but seeing lots of people recommend TypeScript now.

Is TypeScript too hard for complete beginner? Or should I just start with it since its the future?

Learn JS basics (1-2 weeks), then move to TS. Understanding why TS exists makes it easier.

Start with strict: false in tsconfig, tighten later.

Start with TypeScript. Yes it adds a learning curve but it catches bugs before runtime.

For a beginner, thats HUGE. You will make fewer mistakes!
