Sven Radavics · Accepted Answer

Typescript is the future.

Pavel Keyzik · Answer

It really depends on what you're building. For small projects JavaScript is enough, even if you want to care about types, you can always use JSDoc comments. It's not that convenient, but it works. If you're planning to have a big project with different data models, then you'd probably need TypeScript to be more confident about updates ☺️

TS

Answer

Typescript is definitely better for medium/large-sized applications. 
For smaller/personal projects you could argue that Javascript is fine.
Although, personally I would always choose Typescript.
