TypeScript is a programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It 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 builds on JavaScript by adding statically checked types. When you use static types, you can run the TypeScript compiler to check for bugs like typos and mismatches in the shapes of your data, and get handy suggestions. These types don’t change your program, and you can remove them to leave you with clean, readable JavaScript.
TypeScript is a popular choice for programmers accustomed to other languages with static typing, such as C# and Java. As New Media Aid have been developing web apps in C# since the year 2000 and developing Android apps in Java since 2009, this makes TypeScript a popular choice for our app engineers. TypeScript’s type system offers many of the same benefits as C#/Java, such as better code completion, earlier detection of errors, and clearer communication between parts of the program.
In 2020 TypeScript was given the award for “Most Adopted Technology” based on year-on-year growth and voted 2nd most loved programming language in the Stack Overflow 2020 Developer survey.
JavaScript and More
TypeScript adds additional syntax to JavaScript to support a tighter integration with your editor. Catch errors early in your editor.
A Result You Can Trust
TypeScript code converts to JavaScript, which runs anywhere JavaScript runs: In a browser, on Node.js or Deno and in your apps.
Safety at Scale
TypeScript understands JavaScript and uses type inference to give you great tooling without additional code.
What is JavaScript? A Brief History
JavaScript (also known as ECMAScript) started its life as a simple scripting language for browsers. At the time it was invented, it was expected to be used for short snippets of code embedded in a web page — writing more than a few dozen lines of code would have been somewhat unusual. Due to this, early web browsers executed such code pretty slowly. Over time, though, JS became more and more popular, and web developers started using it to create interactive experiences. Web browser developers responded to this increased JS usage by optimizing their execution engines (dynamic compilation) and extending what could be done with it (adding APIs), which in turn made web developers use it even more. On modern websites, your browser is frequently running applications that span hundreds of thousands of lines of code. This is long and gradual growth of “the web”, starting as a simple network of static pages, and evolving into a platform for rich applications of all kinds. More than this, JS has become popular enough to be used outside the context of browsers, such as implementing JS servers using node.js. The “run anywhere” nature of JS makes it an attractive choice for cross-platform development. There are many developers these days that use only JavaScript to program their entire stack! To summarize, we have a language that was designed for quick uses, and then grew to a full-fledged tool to write applications with millions of lines. Every language has its own quirks — oddities and surprises, and JavaScript’s humble beginning makes it have many of these.
