    TypeScript: when it makes sense.

    TypeScript becomes worthwhile as JavaScript projects grow or teams collaborate; for simple scripts, plain JavaScript suffices.

    Keep if

    You develop in JavaScript on medium to large projects.. You want to catch errors in the editor, not at runtime.

    Challenge if

    You write simple, pure JavaScript.. You have a single script of a few lines.
