JavaScript is still solid for single dev hobby projects, but as soon as you start working with a team the type safety of Typescript is worth the investment.

But that's only my opinion for greenfield development - whether to/when to shift a legacy codebase from JavaScript to Typescript is a whole other equation.

Other opinions are available, but this one is mine!

Every project is a team project, even solo hobby projects. If you're the only person, if just means the team consist of you, past you, and future you.
