I used TypeScript for a project earlier this year. As a C++/C# expert and a JavaScript noob, I found the clarity, the readability of my code to be far superior with TypeScript, well worth the extra tooling.
Then I found that after working that way for a number of months I no longer needed it. I picked up enough JavaScript along the way that I could I drop the training wheels and I am not looking back.
