If js docs are a good working replacement then I can understand wanting to avoid all the annoying issues with typescript. I haven't used it before but it seems less flexible and more verbose, what's other people's experience with it? I'd have to check it out myself but for the moment typescript makes JavaScript a little more bearable.

Javascript is a standard, typescript is not. You're at their whims if they ever want to change anything, break anything etc. If typing would get introduced in JavaScript, I would be on that instantly. But for now, I'd rather not touch typescript
