TypeScript Oddities

It's ESNext ... and Types

Focus on tooling

Structural type system

Control flow analysis

Use TypeScript without TypeScript

class Person {
  name: string;
  age: number;

  constructor(name: string, age: number) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }

  sayHello() : string {
    return `Hello ${this.name}`;
  }
}

So, what's odd?

Except that it isn't ...

Samples

TypeScript's odd because JavaScript's odd

And that's a good thing!

 

Dynamic static types suited for JavaScript's many cases

Tooling and productivity as first goal
