I've never dealt with TS before, so it's hard for me to make a choice. Its type system is what attracts me the most.

Things that I'm specifically interested in:

  - Speed of development/heaviness of the language (such as if we'd compare, say, Java vs. Go)\n  - 3rd party non-TS libraries\n  - Testing framework\n

\nAny help is greatly appreciated!

While the concept is excellent, the implementation in various IDEs and release process seems very much to work against really getting work done.

On my machine, the tsc compiler seems to use a different version from the one in VS Code, because I see highlighted errors in the editor that do no show up when I actually compile, and vice versa. I cant even find an easy way to know the version of TS that the VS Code editor is using.

Also, there seems to be a thousand different ways to reference and/or import other modules, and they vary with each version, such that I'm never sure. Implicit referencing sometimes works, sometimes does not.

Why Typescript can only compile .ts files is beyond me.

As usual, Microsoft is long on ideas, and short on execution.
