Exploring TypeScript
summary
TypeScript compiles to JavaScript and adds static typing with inference, a tsc option to noEmitOnError, and ambient declarations so browser globals or jQuery can be declared without breaking compilation. Examples show sample.ts → sample.js running on Node or in a browser, stricter type-checked comparisons, optional/default and rest params, lambda syntax for concise callbacks, interfaces/classes with structural typing, generics, inheritance, getters/setters, and that returning lambdas preserves this binding. The compiler prevents emission on type errors.
