TypeScript is Microsoft's new language designed to develop a wide range of applications. Its syntax includes ECMAScript 6 features, such as modules and classes. Modules allow efficient code compilation without producing naming conflicts, and Classes allow you to benefit from object-oriented approach for easy implementation of features such as inheritance.
