Typescript allows you to use JS as well. You can also set types as any, so it doesn't require a full conversion. You are adding a dependency either way, I was expressing my preference. The great thing about Node is you can do things many different ways

Yeah sure, to each his own. But are you sure TS allows JS? I mean do you mean it allows JS code in TS files or it allows JS files? Because compiling .js files with tsc throws "The only supported extensions are '.ts', '.tsx', '.d.ts'" error.
