You hired me to be a JavaScript developer. Just because you have stock inMicrosoft is not a good reason to try stuffing Typescript down my throat. Maybe you should have hired a Typescript developer!

    You should be able to write JavaScript just fine, Typescript only add syntax, and don't change JavaScript.

    I would make fun of somebody that wrote "Typescript developer" on his resumé

    I never tried typescript ever, but I hear it has "interface". I really miss that in my JS.

    I felt the same way about SASS. I was pulled in kicking and screaming. And then I loved it.

    Just write all your files with a .ts extension, but use plain JavaScript within. Seriously.

    And who knows, someday you might start leveraging the Typescript extras.

    In all seriousness typescript is very useful and doesn't stop you doing anything you can in javascript.
