Typescript is GREAT. Strict null-checking eliminates the dreaded null-pointer exception. It enables type-safe mixins. It allows for mapped types. Literal types, especially string literal types, makes it so easy to work with pre-existing JS libraries.

The way I look at Typescript vs. Javascript is that with Typescript, it's like having always having a pair programming buddy (the compiler) who never makes mistakes.
