Introduction
The TS and JS are two different types of scholarship programs available to students who qualify. If you’re wondering what each program does, how they differ from one another, and which one might be right for you, read on!
Features of TS
TypeScript is an open-source pure OOPs language. It is a strongly typed superset of JavaScript which compiles to plain JavaScript. It contains all elements of the JavaScript. It is a strict superset of JavaScript and adds optional static types, classes, and modules to the language.
TypeScript doesn’t change the existing JavaScript in any way. It is simply a new syntax for writing code in ECMAScript 5 (ES5). TypeScript can be used as an alternative to ES6 or Babel for developing server-side applications, building tools, or even as part of your front-end development workflow when using React, Angular 1+2+, VueJS, etc.,
TypeScript does not require you to change anything about how you write code; it provides a way to add type annotations while still maintaining full compatibility with existing code bases.
1. Type Inference
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds optional types and static typing to the language. This means that you can declare variables as having specific types, such as integers or strings, without having to write out those details explicitly in your code.
TypeScript’s type system is similar to Java’s (the most common statically typed language), but it also supports optional annotations called decorators on functions, methods, and classes. These allow you to add metadata about the type of each function (such as whether it returns an object or not), which makes it easier for automated tools like linting tools or type-checking tools such as Flow+TypeScript Docs+.
2. Interfaces
Interfaces are a way to specify the behavior of an object. They do not provide any implementation and thus cannot be instantiated or inherited. However, generic functions can be declared with the ” syntax and used on any data type.
3. Generics
Generics are a way to write functions that work with any type. They can be used to write more reusable code, and they can also be used to write more efficient code.
For example, if you have an application that needs to perform the same task over and over again (for example: getting an employee’s salary), then it would make sense for your program not only to check what type of employee it is but also whether or not they’re even employed at this point in time! That’s where generics come in handy since they allow us not just one but many different variations all at once.
4. Modules
The TypeScript language can be used to import and export your code between modules. Modules allow you to organize your code into logical chunks, which can then be imported into other files.
Modules are a new way to structure code in TypeScript, and they’re designed so that they can be easily understood by both humans and machines. A module is a unit of functionality that you want to reuse across multiple files (or even across several libraries). This helps make it easier for developers who work on large teams because they don’t have as much repetition as when working on smaller projects where each developer may need their own unique set of functions or methods being used throughout all parts of their application/service’s architecture
5. Toolchain support
In addition to the language, you’ll have to consider the toolchain support for each of them. TS is supported by many IDEs and VSCode. A lot of people use WebStorm as well (but we won’t talk about it here).
WebStorm supports all of those things, but not Atom or VS Code because they don’t support TypeScript syntax highlighting in their respective editors.
If you want your IDE to know what types are supposed to be used in a file when compiling/linking then you need some kind of transpilation process that converts TS files into JavaScript files with ES6 features (like classes and arrow functions) before compiling or linking anything else onto an HTML page or server-side app instead – this is where TypeScript comes into play again!
What to choose between TS and JS?
What to choose between TS and JS?
The first thing you should understand is that the language itself is not the only factor that influences your choice. There are many other factors, such as the size of your project, who will be using it, and their level of experience with JavaScript. For example:
- Large projects require more time to develop than small ones since they need more code and tests;
- Large teams are better at managing complexity because they have better ways of communicating problems within their organization;
- If you want to write fast code but don’t have much experience with JavaScript yet, then choose TypeScript! It’s easier than plain JavaScript because types help prevent errors during development (and also when running tests).

Takeaway:
- TS is a superset of JS
- TS is a better choice for large codebases
- TS is a better choice for large teams, projects, and applications.
The syntax is more familiar and comfortable for most programmers. The tooling is better because of the larger community and ecosystem.
Conclusion
In the end, it comes down to what you want your programming language to be. If you’re looking for something that will simplify your life and give you more features than JavaScript or TypeScript, then go for TypeScript. If you need full control over all aspects of your codebase, then take a look at JavaScript — and let me know what works out best!
