TypeScript is what Google Closure Compiler should have been; Closure’s static typing is similar but is much more tedious (you need to type 16 characters just to declare an int! https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/js-for-compiler https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/js-for-c...). I’m disappointed that nobody from Google Closure has stepped up to unify TypeScript and Closure’s syntax and to provide better tooling.
