The combo of Typescript and VS Code is really well done. Transitioning from JS to TS is well supported by documentation, IDE integration and language design.

Apple once made people very happy when they adapted things and workflows that are important to Unix users. Now they're drifting away from that. Microsoft is going in the opposite direction and seems to listen to what developers really would like to see.

Yes. With TS2 the type gathering is much easier, but there are still many libs out there with outdated type definitions or none at all.

They got this "allowJs" flag, which I found a good idea, but I never got it to work.
