About this Talk

JavaScript is the most accessible platform of our times. Yet, it has many downsides, especially when it comes to big scale applications, being developed by multiple developers. TypeScript is a solution to that problem. Being the new guy, it has already found its place in the JS kingdom, among rivals such as CoffeeScript and ES6. Angular2 chose TypeScript as its language. It has bindings for most existing libraries already. Some people, including me, state they'd choose TypeScript for development of any new project. So why is that? In this talk I'll highlight the native-JS problems that TS solves and compare it to its rivals, CoffeeScript and ES6. Moreover, we'll see how do non-Frontenders see TypeScript. I'll share my experience of banking software development.
