Enterprise frontend and backend development, all Typescript. TS is easily the most productive language I've ever used (professionally worked in Java, then Javascript, with some Ruby and PHP). It scales from no-types JS to architecture astronaut seamlessly. You only have to use what's useful to you. My only hangups were esoteric type errors, but AI made this go away (mostly with more specific explanations of the issue).
We ported our webapps from JS to Typescript a while back, and I hate having to read untyped code, even (maybe especially) the stuff written by our best coders, even my own code. You have to run the code in your head just to understand the shape of "order".
I would never go back, I cannot fathom the resistance in the JS community.
