I believe EcmaScript 6 plans on adding the class keyword and TypeScript's implementation reflects the current draft of how classes in ES6 will work.

Out of curiosity, do you normally program using statically typed languages?
If not, I can see why you would be underwhelmed. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised by your reaction. This is Hacker News and TypeScript is by Microsoft.

- chrisoakman 13y agoNot a huge fan of the class keyword in ES6 either... I do not use statically typed languages and I have nothing against MSFT; I was solely commenting on TypeScript as a language.
- xtrumanx 13y agoSorry about my Microsoft remark. It was kind of inflammatory. I didn't originally have it in my comment but was inspired to add it in for some reason. I try to keep my inflammatory rhetoric out of HN. TypeScript's best feature (imo) is its (optional) static-typing so if you don't like static-typing to begin with, then yeah, it doesn't have much else to offer you. To each his own.
