"Another issue nowadays is the high demand of developers due to a low offer, and believe it or not, the amount of people that can code fluently with JS is notably bigger than the people that can do the same with TS."
Thats factually impossible though. If you can write fluent Javascript you can write Typescript (again, Typescript is a superset of Javascript). Javascript code is valid Typescript code (atleast before type checking).
You are right though, there is a lack of people with Typescript experience, however, there's an even bigger lack of devs who know JSDoc. So if it was your goal to cater to a larger pool of experienced devs, you failed (do that thing again on linkedin where you search for job offers, but this time with JSDoc 😂)
When companies cannot get on board with new technologies, even though they have a lack of devs who can maintain or build their Java crap app (Spring), thats usually when I end my contract with that company.

Empirically tested it and it's not so easy to get people used to JS to use TS, it's learning curve is higher.
With JSDoc it was like "Oh it works like that, pretty straightforward, Ok".
By the way... why a Java Spring App should be crap? Don't you consider Spring as valid tech nowadays? I'm curious about that point
Valid tech... what is your definition of valid tech? I did not enjoy working with Spring Framework at all. Granted it was probably less bad than "vanilla" Java. It's been a long time since I touched anything related to Java though, maybe it got better? I doubt it though...

Thats not my experience at all. But it probably depends on how you introduce Typescript, if you false tell people that it's a completely new language that they have to learn I'm sure it will look daunting going through all the Typescript feature docs that you don't need as a beginner. It becomes a lot easier when you explain to people that their Javascript is essentially already valid Typescript code.

There are people in the company that has been explicitly hired to teach and it's the first stage whenever someone wants to learn something new. I bet they do it better than I do.
