This is one of my concerns with adopting Typescript in my team. Would you please share more info about the kinds of things you prohibit, and why you chose them?

I work at an all typescript shop and I really recommend checking out https://github.com/xojs/eslint-config-xo-typescript#readme as this is a full time open source developer that has to field all kinds of PR's from strangers. So it saves them time if the linter flags things they're trying to avoid.

I have not looked in to Typescript myself yet, but I would say that an “AirBnB style guide”-type linter ruleset could make picking it up much easier.

It shouldn't be much of a concern if you're already writing JS, which usually already comes with judicious use of the linter.

Not the OP but what system are you coming from? If JS, then TS is a great improvement. If anything else...probably not going to be a fun time.
