Typescript for the busy Java developer
summary
Live code demos demonstrate that TypeScript compiles with tsc and tsserver, runs on backend Node, and adds a structural typing system that accepts objects by shape not name. Examples include union types with control-flow type narrowing and type guards, discriminated unions, generics that constrain allowed property keys, and utility types like Omit, Partial, and Readonly to shrink API shapes. A tagged template example shows an SQL tag that builds queries and avoids injection. Recommendations: install via npm or VS Code extension and enable strict for full type checks.
