If Typescript is adding 20% to your workload, I suggest spending a little more time getting used to it. When I first started writing TS, I agree it felt a bit cumbersome and it took some time to understand the nuances, but the time it's saved me in refactoring and catching errors I would have made without it has more than made up for it. I know this isn't really your main point, but I don't want anyone on the fence about TS to be scared off by that 20% figure.

Using static typing on anything takes more time at first, but I agree that it saves time over time.
