Why TypeScript

• TypeScript is is a superset of JavaScript which mainly offers optional static typing, classes, and interfaces. The learning curve is not that steep.
• Types are optional, TSARK compiles into ES5 so you can work with both, ECMAScript or TypeScript.
• A better development experience, including auto-complete and fully documented.

});
