TypeScript is older. It was first released in 2012, whereas Dart was released in 2013.
Dart arrived with much fanfare though, whereas TypeScript was more low-key, and it's taken a while to become mainstream. Google's announcement that Angular 2 would use it has brought it a lot more attention from outside of the traditional MS/.NET dev crowd.
Microsoft have also been shifting the project's focus towards a more Babel-esque one, emphasising greater interoperability with existing (untyped) JS libraries, and support for new ES6/2015 features (and beyond).
- carussell 11y agoDon't know what you're referring to. Dart's release was well past by the time TypeScript debuted.[1] Dart was announced in 2011.[2][3] The only significance that 2013 has to Dart that I know of is that's when Dart 1.0 was released. If that's what we're measuring, TypeScript's 1.0 coincided with Build 2014—still later than Dart's corresponding date, and among other things, that would mean we could say Rust is less than a year old, even though it predates both. 1. https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Anders-Hejlsberg-and-Lars-Bak-TypeScript-JavaScript-and-Dart https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Anders-Hejlsberg-... 2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3092558 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3092558 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0lfNw8Tyhc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0lfNw8Tyhc
- stupidcar 11y agoFair enough, I was going by the "first appeared" date for both languages on Wikipedia.
