TypeScript
Non-negotiable in production JavaScript.
What it is
TypeScript is JavaScript with a type system on top. It catches a huge class of bugs at compile time, makes refactors safer, and - the quiet superpower - makes codebases readable by engineers who didn't write them.
Why we reach for it
- Catches entire categories of bugs before they reach production.
- Refactoring a large codebase is orders of magnitude safer with types than without.
- Editor intelligence (autocompletion, inline docs, rename-symbol) that plain JavaScript can't match.
- Types are the single best runtime documentation available - they are the code.
When we don’t
- -Truly throwaway scripts where the cost of types exceeds the benefit. Rare in real work.
