Futur of Typescript?

Question

I just discover Typescript, is this a common tool? with a good futur?

Answer 1

TypeScript is a superset of Javascript. What that means is that what you code using TypeScript is 'transpiled' to JavaScript. It is a really fun way to code and as has been mentioned looks to have a long future.
It is used not only in Angular2 but all future Angular development (Angular4+). Plus, Google recently adopted it as an option for its developers to use for front-end development.

They just completed the NG-Conf for 2017 and most the presentations are avaliable on YouTube. This is one from John Papa & Dan Wahlin that gives some high-level explanation of how TypeScript works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3iNDdshgrc

Answer 2

typescript is an awesome lang but it has many things in common with javascript and it cannot challenge javasvript

Answer 3

typescript is the fifth best pro lang but javascript is first

Answer 4

I think so, because Angular 2 is based on typescript completely.

Answer 5

@Harshed Thanks for your answer but I don't get the thing when you say: "cannot challenge javascript".
I just watch a piece of demonstration video and they are writing javascript with Typescript and switch from one language version to another one. So for the little I have understand, Typescript write Javascript but doesn't replace it.
