We (Google TS team) maintain a tool[1] that transforms TS types into jsdoc types for the purpose of feeding them into 'advanced' mode. We also (to answer the grandparent question) maintain a tool[2] that converts Closure-annotated TS into JS. (Why both ways? We transition JS->TS and check it in as the code the user works with, while we use the TS->JS one within the compiler at optimization time.)

Google did a bit of work on converting Closure annotated JavaScript to TypeScript. It's called Gents and it's part of the Clutz project https://github.com/angular/clutz/tree/master/src/main/java/c... We used it at Lucid when we converted our codebase from Closure annotated JavaScript to TypeScript. https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2017/11/16/converting-60... Google has support for using TypeScript in Closure annotated JavaScript via Clutz: https://github.com/angular/tsickle It also has support converting TypeScript to Closure annotated JavaScript via tsickle: https://github.com/angular/clutz Before we converted all of our codebase to TypeScript we used both Clutz and tsickle. It was complicated to setup, but it worked. Now we just use tsickle. It's great to get the optimization of the Closure Compiler while using TypeScript.

At Lucid Software we use the Closure Compiler with advanced optimizations to build both Lucidchart and Lucidpress. You can see some work we did with it in respect to Angular here: https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2016/09/26/improving-ang... I don't have a direct comparison to Uglify, but as of last fall advanced optimizations does save us about 2.5 MB over simple optimizations. We're also using Tsickle (https://github.com/angular/tsickle) and Clutz (https://github.com/angular/clutz) to be able to use TypeScript with our Closure Compiler compatible codebase. Closure Code can be depended upon in TypeScript code and vice versa. It's been awesome to use the type system of TypeScript in combination with the minification power of the Closure Compiler. The build process is definitely a bit crazy at the moment, though. Disclaimer: I work at Lu
