TypeScript: Static types for JavaScript

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

TypeScript claims a practical, optional static type layer on JavaScript that compiles away to plain JS while enabling erasable types and a structural type system. The compiler exposes a language service used by editors, runs a typescript server, and demonstrates sub-100ms responses on a 100,000-line codebase against a 250 millisecond IDE target. Features include local inference, union and discriminated unions, conditional types, and community-sourced typings via DefinitelyTyped, now among GitHub’s top projects.
