TypeScript was inevitably made to assist with JavaScript but has become more desireable than its counterpart.
TypeScript is an open source, high-level, programming language developed by MicroSoft, it is a building block for any JavaScript and it’s designed for the development of large applications that transcompiles down to JavaScript.
TypeScripts is a superset of JavaScript all Java programs are syntactically valid TypeScript but they can fail to type check. Learning one is equivalent to learning both and it is best to start with JavaScript.
There are more people raving about Typescript vs Javascript. Though Typescript runs a little slower it improves code and uncovers hidden bugs, it uses developers and business logic. It has fewer bugs, static typing interface, advanced tooling support and improves productivity. Most companies will not replace TypeScript with JavaScript due to the sheer complexity of switching programs. JavaScript is frustrating, it’s easy to start but impossible to master and easy to get confused. It is “the ugly stepchild” , says Andrew Pierno, Veritone’s director of engineering via medium.com.
Regardless of what you choose JavaScript holds the title of the world’s most popular programming language. Ubiquity as the language of the web ensures widespread adoption and a large user base. Secondly, its importance in both frontend and backend development, facilitated by frameworks like Node.
With TypeScript, a developer can easily write clean and maintainable code, allowing them to concentrate on writing the feature, Saunders said.
