I thought the same but the more I use TypeScript the less I care about it's typechecker. I use it mostly for the amazingly powerful IDE integration and so I don't have to remember if a `User` has an `id` or a `userId`.

I've noticed VSCode at least also learns types and structures from JSDoc in raw / vanilla JavaScript.

Not only VSCode, it's a documented feature of the ts compiler. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-checking-j...

iirc Webpack uses it extensively in its codebase
