TypeScript is designed so you can "just use a little bit" and gradually embrace it more.
For me, it's a no brainer - it's not a huge shift from JavaScript, and the type system is powerful and well thought out. You also tend to benefit from ES-v-next features before they land in the browser.
I have a long background in using statically typed languages, so for me, TypeScript feels like a really lovely sweet spot.
I've nibbled around the edges by contributing a bit to the VS Code codebase, which is written in TypeScript. I came to JS after Java, so I would appreciate static typing. I think I will incrementally adopt TS and look to use it in a smaller project at a later date.
