TypeScript is still a bit of a mystery to me. Is it just a "nice-to-have" layer on top of JavaScript, or is it actually the future of JavaScript? What differences do you notice when writing code with it? What’s the upside of dealing with compiler errors? Would love to hear your thoughts!
What is TypeScript good for, does it replace JavaScript?

The main difference between TypeScript and JavaScript is that it catches potential errors during compilation and warns you—so you don’t have to go on a deep debugging hunt. It also has a small overhead since 100% of the code is valid JS; you’re just adding the type system as you like. You’ll see where it helps the most once you use it in a project.
