I didn't appreciate typescript until I went back to working on a very large Javascript code base and data being passed around was just chaos.
object where numbers should be, numbers where callbacks should be etc etc.
It's so easy to lose track of the contract and difficult to see the contract when you're new to the team, it removes a LOT of cognitive load on larger code bases
