Project mention: Figma's Journey to TypeScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-04

You may like JSDoc[1] if you just want some type-safety from the IDE without the compilation overhead.
It’s done wonders when I’ve had to wrangle poorly commented legacy JavaScript codebases where most of the overhead is tracing what type the input parameters are.
Personally, I’m impartial to TypeScript or JSDoc at this point. But I’d rather have either over plain JavaScript.

Project mention: Documentation Comment highlighting with TreeSitter | /r/neovim | 2023-05-13
