- #JavaScript is a wonderfully dynamic language and its dynamic features afford you a great deal of expressiveness.
- Strong typing is useful for catching errors before runtime.
These two statements don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Instead of shackling yourself to #TypeScript™ 2023™ Enterprise Edition™, you can use #JSDoc to get the best of both worlds.
Here, for example, I’m mixing in a property into Polka request handlers and documenting it. Intent is clear and type checker is happy.

@filipesm It’s all the TypeScript language server behind the scenes. The difference is whether there’s a build stage and whether you control TypeScript or TypeScript controls what you can do.
(You can import any exported type from any module via import statements in JSDoc.)

@aral Quick question: if I want to import types from a package, with JSDoc, how does that work? Aren't I just importing TS types?
