Stuck on an issue?

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Should we set '"types": []' for 'tsc init'?

See original GitHub issue

Very few people understand the automatic @types inclusion behavior, it often causes packages to conflict, and it is often a program construction performance foot-gun.

Maybe we should output a field like this in compilerOptions.

// Add packages with global definitions that can't be imported here.
// Remove entirely to auto-include all '@types' packages.
"types": []

What do others here think?
