Deep dives
Introduction to TypeScript and Its Purpose
TypeScript, developed by Microsoft, is a superset of JavaScript designed to add static typing and enhance code quality through optional type annotations. This functionality allows developers to define the structure of their code more clearly, making it easier to identify potential errors during development with built-in type checking. By providing a more formal syntax, TypeScript helps developers manage larger codebases while reducing the likelihood of runtime errors. Ultimately, its goal is to improve the coding experience for JavaScript developers and make their workflows more efficient.
