Typescript: Detailed Overview & Metrics
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing and other advanced features to the language. It allows developers to write more robust and maintainable code by catching errors at compile time and providing better tooling support for code navigation, refactoring, and IntelliSense. TypeScript compiles down to plain JavaScript, making it compatible with all JavaScript environments and frameworks.
Compared to plain JavaScript, TypeScript offers better code organization, scalability, and type safety. It is widely adopted in modern web development projects, especially in large codebases where strong typing and code predictability are crucial.
