I use Typescript daily and I really enjoy working with it. I've been working with Javascript for quite a while and Typescript made my life a lot easier. I do however (possibly controversially) find the Javascript world in general rather tiring. There are constantly new (not necessarily more advanced) ways of doing things the most basic things. For me, it's like a ZOO with loads of wild animals, frameworks, Github issues and opinionated evangelists. Don't get me wrong here - learning new tech is great. Especially if you want to stay sharp until the old age. Nevertheless, sometimes you just want to focus on getting stuff done and not trying out a brand new invention of rendering an input field (which will work and look exactly the same to users). While Typescript is much more than that, a similar sentiment might be making your fellow devs reluctant in trying it out. Following from the above, I'd imagine that there is some kind of a person (top-down approach: head of engineering, CTO?) that makes decisions about code standards and tech. It might be worth talking it through with them, especially if you have concrete examples how Typescript could improve productivity. That's how we got Typescript into projects at the last place where I worked. From the perspective of the devs themselves (bottom-up approach), a good motivator might showing the momentum that Typescript has in its adoption. There is a high chance that they'll have to learn it anyway if they plan to move companies at some point which makes it a good tradeoff to start earlier. Get paid for learning kinda argument.
