You can use Typescript with LitElement https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/start#use-lite...

Yeah, I didn't really understand why there was a need for an overhaul like that. I honestly was hoping that there'd be a better story for databinding, types, etc. I just gave up and went back to React.

Polymer was trying to do too much (to be a framework), and the quality was average at best.

LitElement is able to focus on providing the best base class to build a Web Component. I think it is almost there.

The lit-element package comes with typescript decorators.
