Ten Years of TypeScript
I was late to the TypeScript train, but now that I’ve been using it both at work and on my side projects, I miss it when I don’t have it.
TypeScript had to be free and open source, and done in a truly out-in-the-open manner. It also had to interoperate seamlessly with existing JavaScript, co-evolve with JavaScript, and feel like JavaScript.
Given my experience working with TypeScript, I’d say they’ve done a good job allowing developers to integrate TypeScript into the development process with minimal impact.
