Does Microsoft use TypeScript for any of its other products or web services? How strongly are Microsoft web teams encouraged to dogfood TypeScript? :)

- AdamTReineke 11y agoVS Code, IE11/Edge's F12 developer tools, and Sway (Office) use it to name only a few. VS Code's source: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
- altano 11y agoTypeScript is looked upon very highly by everyone at MS and I haven't seen any new projects started with vanilla JS in the last few years. No one needs to encourage anyone to use it. It's just the obvious choice for large projects (and every project at MS is large). Some other products using it off the top of my head: Azure Machine Learning, Xbox Music, Visual Studio Team Services. EVERYTHING new.
- lenkite 11y agoSadly, Microsoft's main JS library for UI development - WinJS 4.x is _not_ TypeScript enabled.
- judah 11y agoWhile WinJS is not built in TypeScript, there are TypeScript bindings for it[0] bundled in the WinJS repo, so it's easy to use from TypeScript. [0]: https://github.com/winjs/winjs/tree/master/typings https://github.com/winjs/winjs/tree/master/typings
- theatraine 11y agoThe new Azure portal uses TypeScript heavily.
