Criticism of that statement kind of hinges on the source material being solid enough to be taken seriously. I mean, one of his main points is that everything written in JS should be written in typescript because it helps support typescript users. Another it is leads to better documentation, with no qualification of how that happens. It might make your intent more explicit to a reader of the source code, but that doesn't magically translate into documentation for an API user. I personally find nothing good about trying to coercing a language into something it isn't and then transpilling it back and that article has no strong argument to make me feel any different.
