100% yes. As someone who did JavaScript only for a while, once you make the switch, you’ll never want to go back.
The things you’ll get:
1. It’s going to force you to think more about how you structure your program. You’ll probably end up with a cleaner design.
2. It’s going to make you code faster because of the awesome autocomplete functionality you get out of the box (at least with VSCode).
3. It’s going to give you much more confidence that your code won’t break at runtime. There’s still a chance it will (write unit tests), but it’ll be much less frequent.
4. Types are a kind of documentation, so your future self will thank you.
