It's a strange question. Writing in TypeScript is almost identical to writing in ES6. TypeScript is "just" ES6 with interfaces and static types.

Do people prefer typed JavaScript over JavaScript tho? I know that I prefer typed JavaScript, especially to write long-term web applications or Node.js server applications, but I don't think there is yet an unanimous shift towards typed JavaScript.

I'd like dynamic typing but without the implicit and dubious type coercion. Like Python.
