TypeScript

A typed superset of JavaScript that catches whole classes of bugs before runtime — standard practice now for any React or Node codebase meant to last.

Why I use it

Catches typos and mismatched data shapes at build time instead of in production
Makes a codebase far easier for a future developer (or me, six months later) to pick up safely
Editor autocomplete becomes dramatically more useful with real types in place

Where it fits

Any React or Node project expected to be maintained long-term
APIs where the shape of request/response data needs to stay consistent
