What's new in TypeScript?

The Discussion

• 

  Thank you your wonderful product. I use TypeScript in my everyday work. thank you for one more time for your time and effort.

• 

  Always a pleasure and intellectual exercise to follow Anders Talking Programming related Subjects, in this case Typescript. His last almost grown up Child!

• 

  Very nice! Thank you for this session.

• 

  I do not get javascript intellisense after installing the node modules in visual studio code for Mac. As shown in the video at 50:51. Is this a preview feature? i have visual studio code version 1.12.1 installed and typescript version 2.3.2

• 

  Typescript is truly an amazing tool, It made the javascript development so much simpler. All these frameworks will eventually fade out, but typescript will be around for a very long time.

• 

  Typescript is awesome! But why does it have so many issues on Github (2062 at the moment)?

• 

  Voronar, because it's in active development with a new build every night 

• 

  Nice.

  I wonder if Anders knows that VS Code comes with an integrated terminal now?

• 

  TypeScript is a game changer for JavaScript, definitely.

• 

  Really cool presentation, especially the way TS integrates with react native and all. 

• 

  I only wished TypeScript would place some kind of typechecks into JavaScript. Now, when I get false data from my database, I have to check manually, what's kind of annoying.
  Also, does he really use chrome-browser :D ?

• 

  Thank you for wonderful presentation about TypeScript.

• 

  Excellent presentation

• 

  Oru Mayirum Puriala!!

• 

  Awesome presentation, keep up the good work!

• 

  Umm...The entire demo was done on Google Chrome.

• 

  awesome

• 

  One of the coolest and smoothest demo-filled presentations I have ever seen. Love listening to Anders!

  klkkkkkk

  After seeing TypeScript in the wild, especially in the last year (many of the frameworks I use, adopted TypeScript), I didn't see any reason to add the extra overhead to my projects. This video absolutely and unequivocally changed my mind.
  
  Now, I see no reason NOT to use it. I was actually creating MORE of a headache by checking all the types in my functional programming manually. Thanks for the great presentation.
  
  My only constructive criticism is that I would of loved a reference slide at the end of the presentation on how to get started quickly. Furthermore, how to add it to existing projects and how to start using it in new projects.
  
  Thanks for all the hard work!

  bravo

• 

  thankyou

• 

  nice

• 

  Vou praticar e depois comento.

• 

  Great

  Absolutely wonderful. I'm a strong believer of typed programming languages. There is rarely a reason not to have a type system as it acts a primary defect-deterrence tool. Let the computer help you check for correctness--having a type system is the first step towards doing this. TypeScript allows me to develop JavaScript applications in a non-archaic way. Kudos to the TypeScript team at Microsoft and all of the open source contributors!
