Chiming in as a professional TS dev. It's really a joy to do web dev work in the post TS world.

What do you think of JSDoc? As someone who knows neither I find the idea of no required transpilation very appealing, while still getting the TS ecosystem tools.

Why is transpilation unappealing to you?

Being honest, I'm an outsider looking in. Most likely these things are solved problems, but alternates are always interesting to hear insider opinions on.

Sounds like it's developer experience Vs required post processing in this case, which is a reasonable tradeoff to think about
