    The joke is that almost everyone calls them vegetables because the botanic categorisation of parts of plants is niche jargon that is not useful in everyday life, whereas the culinary categorisation is useful, and so your shopping list correcting you is worse than unnecessary.

      But that’s not what TypeScript does. The joke in the meme doesn’t really even make sense.

      A better analogy would be you have a basket that’s explicitly labeled “Fruit” and TypeScript complains if you try to put laundry detergent in it because you said it’s supposed to be a basket of fruit.

      This meme was clearly made by someone who doesn’t use or understand TypeScript.
