yep i love Typescript! Been using it with Angular 2 and Angular 4. I come from a C#/.NET background and don't want to go back. I even co-founded a .NET user group and the name of my company has ".NET" in it! No reason to not use TypeScript.. Can use what you want or continue writing javascript in the .ts files. Might need to change some default settings, don't know, i've had NO reason to NOT get all these autocomplete/intellisense/advice/errors/warnings/best-practices.
Whoa, I kinda feel the same way, always feeling I gotta be working something. Always balancing work and life. Lugging around my laptop everywhere in case I can do something productive on it. I quit my job recently, trying to focus on my side project, but also been busy getting engaged and married soon. Always feeling I don't have enough time or not focusing or getting enough done. GLHF!
