TypeScript is a great programming language that was introduced to the public in 2012. This language is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles...

Worth to mention is that TypeScript create at least as many bugs as JavaScript so the benefits is rather small compared to JavaScript. Not a popular thing to say, but damn well true:

I completely support this point of view, however I believe that it is quite personal, because for some developers TypeScript has enough advantages compared to JavaScript, while others prefer to use JavaScript only. As I mentioned in this post this is a huge topic for discussion, I thing this is worth writing the whole new post 😁
P.S. Loved the resource you've attached!
Great Article! Here are a few points I want to mention:
Personally I prefer doing configuration after running this init command
tsc --initand all the tweaks withintsconfig.json. This is because not only is it convenient, but also can you manage your configuration in a single placetsconfig.json.TypeScript could be a huddle for those who are not accustomed to statically typed language. But as your project grows, it's way faster to develop in TS rather than JS since you'll immediately see what each function's interface is once you see the code itself. Currently I use Python for my work, but sometimes it is so painful since some old and big projects in Python doesn't have any type systems(like AWS's boto3 or SQLAlchemy v1.4... so horrible).
thanks for adding that info!
I find the first noticeable benefit of Typescript is having auto-complete when writing code in VS Code. It's true that you get suggestions while using JS too, but it's more refined with TS.
The next major benefit is noticeable when refactoring a large project. Any typos fail immediately instead of silently at runtime.
It's true that there are refactoring tools to do global variable name replaces. However, that relies on a developer using the tools. If someone doesn't use them for whatever reason (e.g. new to programming/unfamiliar with the language and tools) and introduces a bug, it may go unnoticed.
However, the build will break during deployment with Typescript, meaning that it adds an additional safety net.
Thanks for pointing this out!
This an excellent introduction for newbies!
Thanks, Ivan!
Thanks for sharing.I will surely start learning TypeScript
Glad to hear that!
Cool!
Great article, Heather!
This is me trying to setup typescript every time:
That's was me exactly in the begging of my journey 😁
good
