TypeScript is an open source programming language that is developed and maintained by Microsoft. Its initial public release was in October 2012. TypeScript is a superset of ECMAScript, supporting all of the syntax and semantics of JavaScript with some extra features on top, such as static typing and richer syntax.

Figure 1 shows the relationships among ES5, ES2015, ES2016, and TypeScript.

As TypeScript is statically typed, it can provide a number of benefits to us as JavaScript developers. Let's take a quick look at those benefits now.

Compile-time type checking

One of the most common mistakes we make while writing JavaScript code is to misspell a property or a method name. Usually, we find out about the mistake when we get a runtime error. This can happen during development as well as during production. Hoping that we will know about the error before we deploy our code to the production environment isn't a comfortable feeling! However, this is not a problem...
