One reason for this is that, unlike some other programming languages, JavaScript is not a strongly-typed language. This means there can be confusion, especially in large code bases, about when different types (numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, etc) should be used and sometimes the problems only surface in production. This is a problem Microsoft recognized early on and they came up with the solution of TypeScript and released the first version approximately on October 1st, 2012.
