Hi all, I hope this email finds you all well. I am writing to request merging of PR #2515 <https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2515>, which adds TypeScript to the Gremlin JavaScript driver. Here are several benefits that I think this change will bring:
Enhanced Type Safety: TypeScript brings static typing to JavaScript, which helps catch errors during development rather than at runtime. This leads to more reliable code and better developer productivity. Improved IDE Support: With TypeScript, IDEs can provide better auto-completion, code navigation, and refactoring tools. This will streamline the development process for contributors and maintainers alike. Better Documentation: TypeScript's type annotations serve as self-documentation for the codebase, making it easier for developers to understand and contribute to the project. Future-proofing: As JavaScript projects grow in complexity, having TypeScript support ensures scalability and maintainability over time. It also opens up opportunities for leveraging TypeScript-specific tools and libraries in the future. Community Engagement: Adding TypeScript support can attract developers who are more comfortable with statically typed languages, thus expanding our community and fostering collaboration. Please review and let me know your thoughts or if any modifications to the PR are needed. Best regards, Tien
