I don’t understand all these comments. I use TS enums like I use Java enums and I literally never have issues. What are y’all doing with these?

In typescript, some types are values. Typescript treats enums as types, but they're secretly values. Classes are types and values.

Yeah, people arguing against enums in this thread are doing a really bad job. I haven't seen a single compelling argument.
