Love for TypeScript
TypeScript is, in fact, awesome. 2.0 adds still more awesomeness, and 2.1 has async&#x2F;await compiled down to ES3&#x2F;ES5, which I will be very happy to see.<p>The only thing that I don&#x27;t understand is why TypeScript isn&#x27;t just considered a required client (or Node) Best Practice at this point.<p>There are other languages that I prefer for specific domains, of course. But if you&#x27;re writing code that needs to run on a web client and&#x2F;or that needs to run in Node, TypeScript is the only way to go.
