Thanks for the share! That's a great one that I will read into more, but I do want to add while TS isn't perfect. I think one of the biggest advantages has been community buy-in. A language like TS would be no where if the community wasn't adopting it and increasing its adoption through network effects. If you use TS and include a library that is written in TS, there's a huge advantage to having accurate typings. Many libraries that don't use TS and add typings later usually have conflicting community provided types.

I think a list of highly adopted libraries written in TS would be great. One I recently realized was TS is immutable.js!
