Have you tried starting a fresh project with just TypeScript? I have no idea how your brain works, but for me working with a non-trivial JavaScript codebase is

  Yeah. Every making even a small change to a JS codebase you haven't touched in a while that isn't VERY thoroughly tested? (Doesn't even need to be a big code base). Thinks will break. And you will lose hours of time. Static typing doesn't eliminate all bugs, of course. But it can catch many common mistakes made in JS.

    If you don't have tests, why do you think your code works?

      I never said write no tests. But static typing catches a lot of things otherwise only caught by tests. Also, try Haskell. Haskell code that compiles works correctly sursprisingly often. ^^
