TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that introduces optional type annotations and modern features, enhancing developer productivity and code safety. Its compiler conducts type checking during compile time, identifying errors before execution, and converts TypeScript code into clean, compliant JavaScript.
Jake Bailey, a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, contributes significantly to the TypeScript compiler and discusses his work on the podcast with Josh Goldberg.
Josh Goldberg is an independent open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He contributes to projects that facilitate developers in writing TypeScript, especially typescript-eslint, enabling ESLint and Prettier for TypeScript. A regular contributor to ESLint and TypeScript, Josh is a Microsoft MVP and the author of “Learning TypeScript” (O’Reilly). He frequently speaks at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups, sharing insights on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general web development.
