When should I opt for TypeScript over plain JavaScript for a new project?

25 Haz 02:00

TypeScript adds static typing, interfaces, and advanced tooling to JavaScript, but it also introduces a compilation step and extra learning overhead. For teams transitioning from a dynamic codebase, what are the main factors to consider when deciding whether to adopt TypeScript from the start versus incrementally adding it to existing modules? Are there particular project sizes or domains where the benefits clearly outweigh the costs? I'd love to hear your experiences and any guidelines you follow.
