The cost of learning and applying typescript is quite high. It will slow you down at first.
The main early benefit is type safety and intellisense. But it often feels like it's a lot of work for little gain.
But in my experience, you reach a point where you suddenly find yourself moving much faster, having way more confidence, and then you'll join another codebase in javascript and you'll realise how much you lose when you don't use static typing.
