Any programmer working with a dynamically typed language will confirm that the task of scaling code is incredibly complex and requires a large team of engineers. That's why Facebook, Google, and Microsoft invented static typing for dynamically typed code. When... working with any programming language, we track exceptions and read the code line by line in search of malfunctions and ways to fix them. TypeScript allows you to automate this unpleasant part of the development process. TypeScript, unlike many other typed languages, is focused on practical tasks. It introduces new concepts that allow for expressing ideas more concisely and accurately, and easily creating scalable and secure modern applications.
