another anecdote - ive been using TS2.1 for the last month on three interconnected projects - a rest api, an express app and also for client side code in that express app - it has been a great experience. async/await is a godsend and @types/ makes what used to be a terrible process much more streamlined and easy. If you have to write JS, typescript is the best way ive ever found.
