Flippin’ The Script: How Developers Can Bring Static Language to a Dynamic World

With 11 million developers using JavaScript worldwide, the programming language has become an essential component of modern web development, topping GitHub’s list of in-demand languages for the last six years. Despite its ubiquitous nature, it has faced challenges with scalability, maintenance, and quality. Several frameworks, such as React, have attempted to control the complexity, but aren’t quite there yet.

Enter TypeScript, which is superset of features that sits on top of Javascript ( and, by extension, React). Originally conceived by designer Anders Hejlsberg of C#, Delphi, and Turbo Pascal fame, TypeScript allows developers to bring the best of a static language to a dynamic world.
