In the long run is it valuable to learn typescript still considering that es6 exists. I know es6 still doesn&#39;t have a lot of support by browsers, but I assume within a couple of years that will change and for now there&#39;s babel at least.
I&#39;m a software dev, primarily coding in java and node. Pretty sick of learning new javascript frameworks/library, though definitely willing to learn typescript if it&#39;s much more advantageous than es6 (I already use es6). 
The only real benefits I can see for Typescript are private datatypes and static type checking (and static types are a subjective benefit), now that es6 has classes and bracket scope with the &#39;let&#39; keyword
Can anyone shed some light on this situation, perhaps what situations would be best to use typescript and why?
