I tried jsdoc + JavaScript for a while to minimise the distance between me and the browser, but in the end TypeScript was just the easier choice. Less documentation to type, and the checks are better. I found that using TypeScript basically like JavaScript + jsdoc delivers the best value. I avoid any advanced TypeScript features as TypeScript is just not a proper statically typed language.
