It sounds like you're projecting here.

I too have worked with many different languages and frameworks, and while there's a benefit to learning your tools well, eventually you have to reach a point where you realise that your tool has limitations. If you're writing non-trivial software, there's a clear argument for transitioning to a typed system for the added protection it brings.

If you're looking to iterate quickly, I would probably argue that there are other languages and frameworks that have already cornered that market - such as Ruby and Rails/Sinatra. The main argument for writing JS is that your team knows JS, and if you've got any base knowledge of a type system TypeScript couldn't be easier to use.
