@elyktrix If you say 'orange' TypeScript will ask if you mean the fruit or the color, JavaScript won't ask and you might end up drinking a glass of orange paint instead of orange juice.

@elyktrix TypeScript is like your teacher who yells at you a lot and you're not quite sure why until you listen to what they're saying.

@elyktrix JavaScript is like “go play outside”. Typescript is like “you can’t play outside until you clean your room”.

@elyktrix @Jan0707 Like driving a train, except that in JavaScript you are off-road, and in TypeScript you have rails.

@elyktrix I will say to my son: typescript is like when we study math together at home, I’m there to help you if you make some mistake (I’m TypeScript), JavaScript well, JavaScript is your final exam, you complete the writing, then you wait the result without knowing if something was wrong

How will you explain? But should be unique.
