Microsoft Takes the Wraps off TypeScript
TypeScript aims to make JavaScript development scale beyond the client
On October 1, Microsoft took the wraps off TypeScript, a new programming language that is aimed at making JavaScript development scale beyond the client. Microsoft has made available to those interested via its CodePlex site a preview of the TypeScript bits; the TypeScript language specification; and the source code for the TypeScript compiler. TypeScript is available under an Apache 2.0 open-source license.
In addition to the new TypeScript language and compiler, Microsoft also plans to make available a TypeScript for Visual Studio 2012 plug-in, providing JavaScript developers with Visual Studio features like code navigation, refactoring, static error messages and IntelliSense. Microsoft is building the TypeScript "superset" of JavaScript to provide the "syntactic sugar" needed to build large applications and support large teams. TypeScript will provide better JavaScript tooling to users writing client-side apps or server/cloud-side ones.
