Typescript is more popular now because projects are migrating more and more business logic layer to front end. Thus the need for type safety and static analysis.

I’m agnostic about Typescript. Bare JavaScript is very efficient and optimized language, well suited for smaller projects.

However, when project scope balloons up, then Typescript becomes more useful. It’s way of enforcing descriptive comments a code, than trying to be a type safe language.
