If you’ve been working in the software development industry (especially if you’re doing a lot of frontend work) in the past couple of years, it’s most likely you worked, or still do, on a project in JavaScript. And by now, you’re more than tired from it. Therefore, in this article, I would like to talk about how to migrate from JavaScript to TypeScript.
Don’t get me wrong, JavaScript is an extremely flexible and easy to learn and use language, with one of the biggest communities out there. But, it also comes with a bunch of pitfalls you eventually end up running into, like it’s loose typing that can result in “odd” behavior. And there are some really interesting languages that transpile to JS and can be used on top of it, such as Dart, Elm, or TypeScript, just to name a few.
