After working on projects in both JS and TS, here’s my take:
🔹 JavaScript (JS)
✔️ Flexible, lightweight, and beginner-friendly.
✔️ Huge ecosystem and community support.
⚠️ But prone to runtime errors and harder to scale in large projects.
🔹 TypeScript (TS)
✔️ Adds static typing for better readability and maintainability.
✔️ Excellent for large, complex applications where multiple developers collaborate.
✔️ Better tooling support (IntelliSense, autocompletion, refactoring).
⚠️ Slightly steeper learning curve, and requires compilation.
👉 My personal approach:
For small projects, I still enjoy the agility of JS.
For enterprise-level apps, TS wins with cleaner, safer, and more maintainable code.
At the end of the day, it’s not JS vs TS, but choosing the right tool for the right project.
