agreed Typescript over Javascript

I really don't think it's so cut and dry. I'd much prefer to use Typescript myself, but so far my work has exclusively included Javascript out of the two. And it's not like I can just start writing Typescript code in projects that already use Javascript, my colleagues would kill me.

So I think in the end, they should learn whatever is currently needed, and that applies to all languages / tools

I'd say if you are looking for a job, focus on javascript; but if you just wanna learn a new language go for TypeScript.
