Stance to TypeScript?

[1valdis]

Hi there. Currently there's no TypeScript typings which makes the library harder to work with. Would you be interested in rewrite of the library to TypeScript?

Hi @1valdis,
I am personally not interested in rewriting this lib to TS as IMO this is a hell of work.
I understand the need of typing's from a DX perspective and would prefer jsdoc typing's instead.
For me the TS compiler is here not in its way when working with unit tests aso.
Choosing JS for me is because it is a scripted language. No need for waiting on compilers to finish.

@commenthol So, do you not want to see any TypeScript initiative here at all, or if there is someone who wants to do that themselves, they can implement this on their own and you'd welcome this contribution? If latter, then you'd rather see a rewrite or just .d.ts typings?

Hi @1valdis,
I'd like to say that I won't maintain a refactoring using typescript files within this project.
If you like to add jsdoc comments or .d.ts typescript declarations feel free to do so.
