As a junior dev on my first job who had to read the code other team members wrote in a project, I can testify to this, TS was a godsend! I was up and running in two days max and able to contribute. The code didn't even have a single comment (that's bad or not is another topic,but I feel with TS you don't need much commenting anyway). Without TS I estimate I would've struggled for a week at least just to understand what was going on. I wasn't sold on TS before, but after this I'm never not using TS in a project. The self documenting aspect of TS is enough to warrant its use in every project, let alone all other benefits.
