Genuine question: is it really a superset if it’s not still valid javascript? Isn’t it more of an abstraction layer on top of javascript?

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Superset means all valid JavaScript is also valid Typescript. (At least, so long as you don’t have compiler setting on that requires all variables to have a type declared.)

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

In practice people don’t use Typescript as a superset since they have stricter compiler settings, which would make valid JavaScript fail to compile.
