I switched my Javascript code base to Typescript a few months ago. There is a productivity cost that is declining over time as I get more used to Typescript. But the conversion also flushed out some significant bugs in the JavaScript base.

And I only get to work on this code once a week. So when I come back to it I’ve found it’s much clearer how it works and I get productive much faster.

I will bet any coworkers who have to work on your code wish it was in Typescript.
