• A programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. TypeScript is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing to the language. TypeScript is designed for the development of large applications and transcompiles to JavaScript. As TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, existing JavaScript programs are also valid TypeScript programs. TypeScript may be used to develop JavaScript applications for both client- and server-side execution (as with Node.js or Deno). The TypeScript compiler is itself written in TypeScript and compiled to JavaScript. TypeScript was first released in 2012. ← Wikipedia ↑ typescriptlang.org
