Funny how MS deals with this js fiasco... they had Jscript.net , refused ECMASCRIPT 4 which was basically Jscript.net, and now come up with Typescript? And people still trust Microsoft after all this... but as a language it's really behind other languages and will likely remain so. This makes large-scale Javascript programs more difficult to maintain. You can thank Microsoft for that. They refused ES4 spec.

IIRC - Typescript compiles to Javascript - it's a bit like coffee script, but with strong typing.

> You can thank Microsoft for that. They refused ES4 spec. Do not forget to thank Yahoo and Google as well. "Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, and other 4th edition dissenters formed their own subcommittee to design a less ambitious update of ECMAScript 3, tentatively named ECMAScript 3.1" -- Wikipedia
