To me, TypeScript is just like Babel JavaScript with typing. You can always cast to any, or // @ts-ignore. And, the configuration with tsconfig.json is relatively easy. Nowadays, I use ESLint as well, so it gets a little complex.

It is the best "dynamic" typing language IMO, but not strict enough to compare with static typing. Still, being partly dynamic can be massively helpful.
