Discussion on: TypeScript is a waste of time. Change my mind.

I can't remember the exact differences(as I've not used regular JS in a little while) but one of the big things for me is I prefer how classes/interfaces/etc work in Typescript. But, of course, this just comes down to personal preference.

I do also like to be able to tell what a variable is just by looking at it, and autocomplete on types is pretty nice, but unfortunately, that only works if whatever you are using(JS libs, etc) actually has typescript definitions attached.

So yea, my main reasons for liking it are primarily based on personal preference.
