So as you are most likely aware, JavaScript is expanding its footprint everyday and it is both overwhelming and amazing what you can do with the language nowadays.
However, as more large-scale projects start to use JavaScript, the process of making the code easier to write and more maintainable becomes more and more difficult.
However, as more large-scale projects start to use JavaScript, the process of making the code easier to write and more maintainable becomes more and more difficult. One reason for this is that, unlike some other programming languages, JavaScript is not a strongly-typed language. This means there can be confusion, especially in large code bases, about when different types (numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, etc) should be used and sometimes the problems only surface in production.
This is a problem Microsoft recognized early on and they came up with the solution of TypeScript and released the first version approximately on October 1st, 2012.
