Hi, Typescript is an open sourced programming language that is developed and being maintained by Microsoft. It is more or less like a wrapper for javascript. It brings strict validations, code intellisense and oops to javascript. The developers doesn't have to write anything in javascript, they only have to typescript. However on the compilation typescript produces javascript as it output.

Features of using typescript,
- Strict validation (just like any other programming language C# / Java).
- Code intellisense like any other programming language
- OOPs concept with javascript!
- Inheritance
- Enum and Interfaces
- Modules & Classes
- Access modifiers
- Polymorphism

In my opinion, Typescript is too good!

Source: I have used Typescript considerably for my work.
