This isn’t really a matter of debate — Microsoft describes TypeScript as a programming language distinct from JavaScript on its homepage.
It’s a programming language with a trivial transpiration step to another language, but a separate language all the same.
- nosianu 4y agoYou completely ignored everything I wrote and merely responded with an assertion, ignoring all evidence. What a terrible way to have a discussion. Would you kindly not ignore the facts? Oh and here is what it ACTUALLY says on the Typescript page (https://www.typescriptlang.org/ https://www.typescriptlang.org/): > TypeScript is a strongly typed programming language that builds on JavaScript, giving you better tooling at any scale. None of that contradicts anything I wrote.
