"is" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there: JSDoc and TypeScript are two different ways to explicit prescribe typing in a way that tooling can use to determine correctness. The TS syntax is _far_ more powerful, but JSDoc can do most of the common TS use cases, for folks who want to stay in JS land while still benefiting from type tooling (either invoked or straight up built into the IDE).
