What Motivated Mike to Start Using TypeScript
summary
Adopts TypeScript for concrete editor benefits: IntelliSense catches undefined before save, static checking surfaces common mistakes while typing, and the workflow finds many errors before running in the browser. The result is fewer runtime surprises and visibly faster dev iteration because debugging cycles shrink. Uses the language mainly for its tooling and immediate feedback rather than for theoretical type purity, aiming to ship features quicker with fewer common bugs.
