If for no other reason, I would like Typescript for flagging when you typo some property - e.g. foo.FooID vs foo.FooId.

I've lost a stupid amount of time in regular JS because of things like this that make me want to pick up the computer and throw it out the window.

Decent editor does that now. I'm using atom on daily basis and it's helping me with that. VScode and intellij does the same

Doesn't the functionality for that in most editors leverage typescript typings, so that it's not really independent of typescript?

Ah I misread the parent comment. I thought it was more like "I wish typescript has this anti-typo functionality"

You're right that it's not independent from TS.

you can add JSDoc annotations and use a modern IDE like vscode or webstorm, etc.
