Bigger TypeScript projects should now become much more manageable in all code editors
Eh, not entirely. Typescript will build faster and the text editor can parse it quicker but once it hits the browser no speed is gained. It’s kinda stated in the article but it dances around it quite well I wouldn’t blame you for missing it.
This just makes transpilation quicker along with some other benefits while working with it in editor. It’s still just JavaScript in the end this just gets it there quicker. Still very cool though.
I feel this should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about programming, because typescript is just a development tool not a runtime.
I… Don’t know about that. I mean, you could implement a browser or even a runtime library that used typescript (or a subset thereof) to directly write LLVM; it would take a lot of work, but typescript doesn’t have to just be for transpiling.
That would be very difficult because Typescript isn’t sound.
Extremely click bait title by the article author.
by microsoft. they used a similar headline for their YouTube video announcing it.
