C-Sharp: A Language for Types
There is a point in JavaScript being a bad language that we tried from the very beginning to compile other languages to it. Because it was too painful to write directly. So getting like error messages, like good IDE code hinting, like all that stuff requires types. And so then they're like, we need to come up with a language on top of JavaScript that gives us type so that we can then move forward. Plus they had the example of like coffee script, which helped. Yeah, some inspiration for taking JavaScript and making it better.
