At the high risk of starting a huge flamewar, I think the benefits of static-typing have won in a way. I've been using Typescript exclusively as my transpiled language for about a little over a year now. The benefits of intellisense/code-completion and refactoring because of static types can't be underestimated, especially in large apps. That said, I actually like the opt-in nature of Typescript. There's some parts of code I don't feel like I need to define an interface for. It's just not worth it. Typescript is turning out to be quite a powerful little language...maybe approaching the point of quite a bit of complexity, but all in-all it's pretty much been a win for my development efforts.
