Current thoughts on TypeScript, type safety, and its competition/presence in the ecosystem?

• node-lru-cache

  1 5,127 7.4 TypeScript

  A fast cache that automatically deletes the least recently used items

Personally love the type system and its relationship with the dev. tools; feel naked without the dealing with the compiler's panic attacks by now. Several influential libraries and packages (babel, caches, sentry, to name a few from the many) seemingly bolted the superset into their backbone so far. Also read dev. logs from people and companies like AirBnB who claim that the TypeScript was a good influence for productivity and documentation to their codebases.

• Sentry

  266 36,886 10.0 Python

  Developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring

• flow

  8 22,076 10.0 OCaml

  Adds static typing to JavaScript to improve developer productivity and code quality.

  

One alternative that I found was flow, thought haven't used it. There is a bevy of languages that transpiles to JS, though some seemingly lost their attention over time. Can the bridge to WASM contribute to this or is that digressing from the topic?
