When you write TypeScript code, you can use a tool like the TypeScript compiler to remove type-specific constructs, and rewrite any newer ECMAScript code to something that older browsers &amp; runtimes can understand. Additionally, using types means that your tools can analyze your code more easily, and provide you with a rock-solid editing experience giving you things like code-completion, go-to-definition, and quick fixes. On top of that, it\u2019s all free, open-source, and cross-platform, so if you\u2019re interested in learning more, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.typescriptlang.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">check out our website<\/a><span style=\"float: none;background-color: transparent;color: #454545;font-family: WOL_Reg,'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 16px;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-decoration: none;text-indent: 0px\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven\u2019t heard of TypeScript, it\u2019s a language that builds on top of modern JavaScript and adds static type-checking.
