TypeScript 2.6 is here in time for Halloween, but have no fear! We’ve got some great treats for you in this release. If you haven’t heard of TypeScript, it’s a language that builds on top of the most up-to-date versions of JavaScript by adding optional static types. These types don’t just help catch things like typos and logic errors; they also can bring you even better tooling like editor completions, easier navigation of your codebase, and more. Best of all, you don’t always have to write out your type annotations – TypeScript can often infer them for you!
