In part, the team just wanted to experiment with TypeScript. Also, the language is syntactically similar to AS3 so there is a close mapping from the AS3 library APIs to Shumway's TypeScript implementation.

Overall we had a good experience. There were some pain points at first with compile time, but that was greatly improved with the new TS compiler.
