I wish the same. Unfortunately not many devs are trying out TypeScript.

I've used React+TS for a year now. It works perfectly. The decorators in TS are great to use with the react-redux implementations - makes the code look less verbose

The only problems I have faced is when type definitions are not available for certain libs. The workaround is simple - using "require(...)" instead of "import .. from ..." statements

With type definitions available from npm and @types, its pretty easy compared to the TSD and Typings I had to use earlier.

TypeScript is the 9th most used language on the StackOverflow survey - ahead of languages like Ruby, Swift, and Objective-C - so I wouldn't say that "not many devs" are trying it out. :)

Really? I've seen so much hype for typescript (though not as much recently). How much is enough?

You should try the "allowJs" tsconfig option, it should allow to use the JS libraries without types with normal syntax (if you do that already with require trick, you are basically doing that anyhow).
