TypeScript is a statically typed extension of JavaScript, providing optional type annotations and modern features to enhance developer efficiency and code safety. The TypeScript compiler checks types during compile time to detect errors before execution and converts TypeScript into clean, standards-compliant JavaScript.
Jake Bailey, a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, has significantly contributed to the TypeScript compiler. He joins the podcast with Josh Goldberg to discuss TypeScript and his work.
Josh Goldberg is a full-time independent open-source developer in the TypeScript community. He focuses on projects that simplify writing better TypeScript code, notably typescript-eslint, which allows ESLint and Prettier to operate on TypeScript. A frequent contributor to projects like ESLint and TypeScript, Josh is recognized as a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and authored “Learning TypeScript” (O’Reilly), a valued resource for developers new to TypeScript. Josh frequently shares his expertise through talks and workshops on TypeScript, static analysis, open-source, and general frontend and web development.
