Why? I've worked on large codebases in Coffeescript, ES6 and Typescript. Whatever this whole community sings and believes, but Coffeescript still wins for me. ES6 is still trying to catch up but will probably never reach the beauty and ease of Coffeescript. Both are transpilers, only ES6 with Babel is a total horror to manage (just upgraded a large codebase to Babel 7..).
Typescript takes about 2x the time to write if you want to create all your typings properly. I hear you say; only in the beginning, later it will speed up the development process. I've never seen that in reality! I've actually never seen a proper codebase in Typescript. Show me a Typescript codebase not using the type 'any'! In a decent system language you can't get away with that, it's just a fake sense of security.
A good codebase should not be dependant at all by Typescript or whatever hype comes next. Writing a good codebase is IMHO a craft and should not depend on the language or a bunch of tooling. If Typescript is way to go, what about Python, Ruby, abandon it, deprecated? Are those inferior languages compared to Typescript? Typescript is just another hype, very smart play by Microsoft btw.
