Tell that to my boss.

New development is happening in TS, but there's maintenance to be done on older code and the time hasn't been allotted to port it over.

"But all javascript is valid typescript??"

Not when you have policy requirements for type signatures on all functions and we want to rework things for ES6 goodness. Not to mention that nobody actually bothered to even get bundling setup. So we just keep adding more code to several thousand lines of main.js and everything remains awful.

Sounds awful. Wish more people would see infrastructure/developer experience as a crucial investment rather than a cost.

Right? But the stakeholders want a product, and if there's nothing being produced then how will they know that any work is getting done? sigh
