JavaScript is versatile but its lack of structure poses challenges for large-scale projects. TypeScript enhances JavaScript with static typing, improved tooling, and scalability features.

Why is TypeScript Better Than JavaScript

Typescript is not something which is opposed to Javascript but an “add-on”, and can be viewed as “extra information”, on-top of javascript code, which helps your IDE (and its users) to assist in catching potential bugs.
It is not “better” because it definitely slows down work at times and makes the code uglier, but it is a necessity in complex applications.
Its benefits cannot be measured because it is unknown how much time could have been spent solving a bug which typescript could have prevented, in relation to the time it took to craft the types correctly.
It can be viewed as “spending time in advance, in hope to prevent future time spending” when a type-related bug arises).
I do write Typescript but after 20 years of not doing so, I don’t find it saves much time because a lot of time is spent writing the types and maintaining them and solving countless typescript issues which most of them will never cause an actual bug.
