> Typescript is Javascript.

In the same way as an Animal is a Camel.

In the same was as programming languages are not organisms.

Typescript is ECMAScript in the same way as Netscape JavaScript is ECMAScript, in the same way as ActionScript is JavaScript.

In the same was as Scheme is Lisp.

In a similar but not identical way as American English is English (similar but not identical since programming languages and spoken languages are both languages, but not actually the same thing: the analogy cannot map perfectly).

If you're making general statements about animals, then they should also apply to a set of camels.
