After having to use TypeScript in a project, I don't see much usefulness. It feels more like a weird linter, than an actual language with extra features. It's tons of ugly boilerplate for little gain, at least so far in my experience.
It is a weird linter, and it can definitely be misused. It saves me hours of work at least a couple times a month, however.
