Mentioned as an afterthought at the end: IDE support for typescript, the best part about using the language.
Not mentioned: type annotations serve as a form of documentation that gets statically verified. The verification strategy has some cracks, and there's a (fairly small) chance that the documentation will end up misleading. But API documentation for javascript projects generally sucks, and typescript helps to fill a lot of the common gaps.
