Getting Started with Typescript

TypeScript is a statically typed, compiled superset of JavaScript that enables developers to write more reliable and scalable code. By introducing optional type annotations and type inference, TypeScript helps catch errors during development, which would typically only be identified during runtime in JavaScript. This enhances the development process by improving code quality, enabling better tooling support like autocompletion and refactoring, and making it easier to understand and maintain large codebases. TypeScript compiles down to standard JavaScript, making it compatible with any JavaScript environment, and can be integrated with existing JavaScript projects, providing an incremental path to adopting types in code. As a result, TypeScript has become a popular choice for building modern web applications and complex systems.
