Adding typescript

[mikesol]

I haven't done a not-typescript project in forever, and I find that migration is super painful, so if things can start off typescript and there's not a compelling reason not to, I usually am in favor of that. Unless of course you are anti-typescript - I know at least one dev that thinks typing in javascript, in general, is not that useful and good tests are enough. @k4m4 what do you think?

Yup, I don't see a reason not too. I will start by familiarizing myself more with TypeScript and will start migrating the existing code asap.

The most important thing is to launch - the nice thing about typescript is that you can have a mixed tsc/js library and migrate over time. I find that TS migrations and refactoring in general are good to do right after major events (ie launches) during the 1-2 days that you are collecting feedback.

Sounds good. Will prioritize launch, then, and aim to migrate to TS later on.

Cool! Let me know if I can help with launch!

[k4m4]

Will do!
