Description

What is this about?

Converting to TypeScript will significantly simplify and accelerate several critical initiatives by providing clearer code structure, type safety, and enhanced tooling support. Specifically, it will streamline ESLint rule configurations, improve ESLint execution speed, facilitate the Webpack migration, simplify the resolution of circular dependencies, and significantly ease the unflattening of Redux state. This migration will also reduce runtime errors, accelerate debugging, and lower onboarding friction, enabling contributors to spend more time delivering new features rather than resolving preventable issues. Overall, this conversion will substantially reduce technical debt, enhance developer productivity, and unblock ongoing improvements across our platform.
