What is TypeScript?

TypeScript is an open-source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript. It offers all of JavaScript’s features and an additional layer on top of these: TypeScript’s type system. This means that your existing working JavaScript code is also TypeScript code.

The main benefit of TypeScript is that it can highlight unexpected behavior in your code, lowering the chance of bugs. And not only TypeScript checks a program for errors before execution, but it also improves the codebase in general since it provides better readability and allows easier refactoring without breaking functionality.

The advantage of TypeScript is that it comes at a low cost and increases its popularity among developers. Angular which is one of the largest front-end frameworks is built entirely in TypeScript, and as a result, using TypeScript with Angular provides a seamless experience.
