Very inspiring post. Just tried out the jsdoc comments in my editor right now. The intellisense and type inference both work fine but it does not throw an error when I assign a string type to a number type.
Here is what I mean:
/**
* @param {number} a
*/functionreturnNumber(a){returna+2;}returnNumber('a');
As you know, if I wrote the code above in typescript I would get an error right away, but it doesn't work when I do it in Javascript using jsdoc.
You still have to configure your project to use typescript, or enable it globally in your IDE. There's a good post about setting up this way of working linked above in the post itself :)
