Hi, I've been doing TypeScript in my day-job and hobbies for six and a bit years now. I would not write JS in any other way.
TS is also a superset of JS so all JS is valid (unless you turn on
strict
mode). So there is no productivity loss/learning curve unless you want there to be.In fact, a lot of people who think they're not using typescript are using it because their editors use typescript definitions for autocomplete and JSDoc type signatures are powered by typescript.
It's not significant but an extra build step can be annoying
