I develop with typescript on a daily basis. I work in a pretty large codebase, and the static typing has been invaluable in maintaining and growing the codebase in a safe way and has caught many instances where we likely would have run into runtime errors. One less thing to worry about.

That being said, for a small project though, I wouldn't choose to use it most likely. The overhead of properly managing the typing correctly, correct configuration, etc... It can be a lot of work for a much smaller benefit.

This is just my take on it, however. I know people that hate it, and others that swear by it. It really just depends on the context imo
