I created a PR to allow disabling typechecking in typescript projects: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/8981, defaulting to the current behavior of typechecking turned on. I think that is the only remaining change my company would need to stop using our fork off of 3.14.0: https://github.com/transcend-io/pulumi 😄

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
