TypeScript and open source at Microsoft (The Changelog #152)
Anders Hejlsberg and Jonathan Turner from the TypeScript team at Microsoft joined the show to talk about TypeScript, a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript from Microsoft. We cover Microsoft’s acceptance and support of open source, why they open sourced TypeScript, the language design, adoption, how to get started, and the future of the language.
