A Language for Application-scale JavaScript Development

Explore TypeScript, a typed superset of JavaScript, in this conference talk by Anders Hejlsberg at GOTO Aarhus 2012. Discover how TypeScript enhances JavaScript development with optional static types, classes, and modules, enabling better structuring and tooling for large-scale applications. Learn about the open-source TypeScript compiler, written in TypeScript itself, which outputs standard JavaScript compatible with any browser or host. Gain insights into the TypeScript language specification and its availability under the Open Web Foundation's Final Specification Agreement. Understand how TypeScript aims to simplify cross-platform, application-scale JavaScript development and improve the overall development experience.
