On my initiative we chose to use TypeScript on our new Node.js project - I would never go back to writing plain JavaScript. Being the strong advocate of static typing, I almost instantly liked the whole idea of TypeScript (even though it's not statically but gradual typing) and the ability it gives me to write huge JavaScript applications in a sane way. Even though I sometimes spend more time thinking how I should structure the code, I feel much much better knowing I won't make some stupid mistakes which you will eventually make using JavaScript no matter how good you are. TypeScript + class-validator and you can sleep well at night. And of course, I'm always using full strictness :)
