why not just use javascript? confused why you would use typescript and turn off type checking

We do use typechecking, just in an external process using `tsc`. Our monorepo has hundreds of typescript workspaces, which we already have efficient processes for typechecking, so we do not need Pulumi to additionally typecheck as it runs.

Additionally, Pulumi's typechecking has issues like <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/8177> that prevent it from working properly in all cases
