Looks like they decided TypeScript was Not Invented Here?
- dmethvin 12y agoTypeScript compiles out all the overhead, AtScript will need to leave at least some overhead so that it can support RTTI. The AtScript design acknowledges and borrows from TypeScript, ideally I would prefer it to be a superset so we don't end up with a lot of divergent dialects.
- munificent 12y agoAccording this [1] article from Microsoft, the TypeScript folks are coordinating with the AtScript folks. [1]: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/typescript/archive/2014/10/22/typescript-and-the-road-to-2-0.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/typescript/archive/2014/10/22/typesc...
- robbrown451 12y agoLooks to me like they are embracing Typescript. This is basically a superset. If I was on the Typescript team, I'd consider it a victory.
- jbergens 12y agoIf you watch the keynote video about AtScript you'll see that they describe AtScript as a superset of TypeScript 2. They add features they think are missing but are trying to keep the syntax wherever possible (actually they hope that much of TypeScript will be in a future EcmaScript standard and then they will follow that syntax).
