  Project mention: Is Flow moving away from (or toward) broader community relevance? | reddit.com/r/JSdev | 2021-05-26

  As for configurability of whether casts should error, in my experience with flow it's paradoxically riskier to rely on a type nag when refactoring an unknown "offending" type casts. I've ran into cases where upgrading flow raised a cast issue, it got "fixed" it in a way that made the type system happy, but inadvertently broke tests because falsy values are tricky like that. Here's an example where a type nag showed up for someone refactoring, they did what they thought was reasonable to silence it, and proceeded to accidentally break the entire tool (slipping through tests and code review, to boot). This happened in the flow-typed tool of all places.
