" summary

Claims migration to TypeScript + AMD yields real gains: an in‑browser workbench and editor get built, tooling adds refactoring and intellisense, interfaces catch many bugs, and a messy codebase of 200,000 lines becomes fit again. A custom AMD loader plus a CSS plugin and lazy-loading contributions let components stay self‑contained and load only when needed. The move costs months of cleanup but restores speed, testability, and maintainability.
