Came here to upvote typescript with jsdocs too. We use it in our project and it’s been really helpful. No overhead and you get the nice dev experience of typed code. Been doing it for 2 years, have yet to encounter a situation that would be solved by using ts compilation.

I much prefer JS+JSDoc over Typescript when writing my own code. Typescript makes me feel overly constrained.

Also, I've been doing web dev for 25+ years now and I don't like the trend backward to waiting for code to "compile".

Although if you're going to have to compile, Svelte looks like a nice middle-ground.
