Ok that is static code analysis for JS. What is static code analysis good for? Seriously, can someone please explain or post a link better than Wikipedia? I live under the impression that I write beautiful (understand sufficiently optimal) OO JS using TypeScript, what has SSA to offer to me? PS: of course I a noob.

You may someday want to build tools to transform javascript code. Suppose you wanted to Typescriptify some legacy code. You'd build your own js code processor, using the libraries this presentation advertises.

My presentation focused on creating new tools, but it is important to understand the concepts so that you can contribute to existing tools. Maybe in the future you will contribute to TypeScript.

Thanks, that makes sense.
