Re:When to Use TypeScript – A Detailed Guide Through Common ... by smt88 on Sunday April 07, 2019 @09:05PM (#19601108)
TypeScript is very easy to use with Node. You can also use the debugger in WebStorm with it just fine, and you'll be stepping through your TS code instead of your generated JS code.

The problem is really the Node ecosystem, which is a mess and a circus of security issues. Deno[1] may fix most of JS/Node's problems eventually.

For now, if you want a type system that's comparable to TS with a great ecosystem, the best you can get is either F# or Kotlin. If you're not a fan of ML, then you might want to start with Kotlin.
