I like TypeScript, but I maintain that beyond a certain point, it makes you *feel* more productive than it actually *makes* you.
It *feels* like an amazing achievement when you finally, satisfyingly, invoke the proper incantation to banish those cursed squigglies in your editor...
...but you might have just spent hours "improving" the code, when what actually ships and runs is 0% different that it was before.
It's possible the only thing you meaningfully changed was your own feelings.
