+# TypeScript Migration Proposal
+
+There are three reasons that make this the right moment for the driver’s TypeScript migration:
+
+1\. Type safety – TypeScript has become the standard for maintaining large Node.js libraries. 
+
+2\. ES Modules – ESM is now the official JavaScript module standard, and the ecosystem has largely settled on it. Supporting it opens the driver to tree-shaking and modern bundler workflows, bringing performance gain.
+
+3\. ES6 classes – The driver's class style is split across ES5 and ES6 conventions. ES5 class is deprecated by Node.js, and is not recognized by modern tools like IDE intellisense.

Review Comment:
   util.inherits is still used nearly 50 times throughout the library so this is still extremely relevant
