#3Is TypeScript a superset of JavaScript? Or is there valid JavaScript that doesn't compile in TS?
Re: TypeScript 0.9 – What’s Improved

Thanks!
Is there a guarantee that TS will remain a strict superset?
Looking at the syntax, it reminds me of Flash ActionScript, which started out as an ECMAScript implementation but became an incompatible superset that pretended to be JavaScript compatible but would whine endlessly about untyped var declarations...
Hopefully ActionScript and C++ will serve as warnings to TypeScript designers: if you're ever thinking about disrupting code compatibility with the original language in the name of added type safety, don't do it.

The Sublime Text plugin is making use of typescript-tools [1] which also has support for vim and emacs.
