TypeScript for JavaScripties
summary
Explains why TypeScript exists and what it actually enforces: how union types and literal types let a variable be exactly specified, how type narrowing and discriminated unions let conditionals safely unlock fields, and how strict null/undefined checking prevents the “billion dollar mistake.” Shows real tooling wins: the TypeScript language server enabling safe renames and import updates, and type-aware linting via await-thenable rule and typescript-eslint that finds and auto-fixes risky awaits and dead state.
