This is awesome. I recently moved from Typescript to plain Javascript for a project and it is quite frustrating.

You don't realise what you had till it's gone!

For someone stubborn that refuse to use TS, what are you missing ? Is it the IDE tools or the compiler error messages, or writing type annotations ?

In addition to icholy's points, stronger typing means one traps a whole class of errors at compile/build time, as opposed to runtime.

IDE tools, compiler error messages, self documenting code.

What a scary thought... leaving TS and going back to JS.
