Imho, ts is not a language. It's a "typing+" tool for js. And as such, I find adding some ts features into your js is good. Ts has a lot of obscure features, which I think do more harm than good. I think one should not try to apply all ts features religiously. But that's me :o)

One very big benefit of React (for instance) is, it allows you to use js / ts minimally, I find.

I agree, ts is a good tool, but that one should not try to use all of its features all of the time.
