Feature: Migrate to TypeScript #106

Description

@favillat

Benefits of Migrating from JavaScript to TypeScript

1. Improved Type Safety

TypeScript catches many common programming errors at compile time instead of runtime. This helps prevent bugs caused by incorrect data types, missing properties, or invalid function arguments.

2. Better Developer Experience

vscode provides enhanced autocompletion, inline documentation, refactoring tools, and intelligent code navigation when working with TypeScript, making development faster and more productive.

3. Easier Maintenance

As projects grow, TypeScript makes codebases easier to understand by explicitly defining data structures, interfaces, and function contracts. This reduces the effort required to onboard new contributors and maintain existing features.

4. Reduced Runtime Errors

Many issues that would otherwise surface during testing or production can be identified during development, resulting in more reliable software and fewer debugging sessions.

5. Strong Ecosystem

TypeScript is widely adopted across the modern JavaScript ecosystem, with excellent support from popular frameworks, libraries, and tooling.

6. JavaScript just SUCKS
