i just watched this video:
Where a developer explains how to begin with ionic tools and components. He uses typescript for making the UI components function, but the ionic main page says javascript is also used, now i'm confused because i do know javascript, not ts.

Actually IONIC has 2 variants ..
Ionic 1 : Based on Angular 1 (Uses Javascript)
Ionic 2 : Based on Angular 2 (Uses Typescript , as Angular 2 itself uses Typescript and IONIC is simply a mobile based wrapper for Angular applications ).
Typescript is nothing new .. most of the Typescript syntax is ES6 (2015 version of Javascript ). Also, typescript is one of the most used super-set of JavaScript.
So, just program in Typescript and eventually you see that you can also easily write ES6 .
