Could someone be so kind as to explain why I should consider Typescript over Coffeescript in future projects? I've been using CS for the past year or two, but I'm hearing a lot of buzz around TS for the past few months. It would be really nice to have a better idea as to why it should be best to move now - is it really that much better? (I love the CS tools available on PyCharm; they really made my life easier.

Is just your regular js, but with some stuff added like type
check, classes, interfaces and some cute operators, just the
language that most know with some goodies added to help
with development, that is and that all, in oppose to CS that
is just syntatic sugar with others cute tricks that make the
language more appealing to people like you (assuming by your
post that you are a python developer). So if you are into JS
or type check then you should give TS a try, if not then
just stick with CS, only you can answer is changing
transpiler in your workflow is gonna make your life easier.

Maybe I'm just waiting for TypeCoffeeScript ;)

#34Anders is my favourite language designer, ever :) TypeScript is something I'm still trying to get more buy-in from my team, but the issue is the lack of decent autocomplete/static analysis in anything other than Visual Studio. I'm working on that problem myself, actually.

I use Cats IDE on a relatively large project and find it very good.

CoffeeScript will always be something quite different. I love it, but that difference makes me nervous. ES6 ought to bring a lot of the features I like about CoffeeScript into JavaScript.

Re: Announcing TypeScript 1.0
#39The article is light on 'What is Typescript'. Can someone explain what TypeScript is?
It's a compile-to-JavaScript language, like CoffeeScript. Differentiating features: - Strict superset of JS. All(?) JS is valid TS, making it easier to migrate to TS. - Many of the added features are from EcmaScript 6, i.e. JavaScript Of The Future. TS lets you use those today, instead of waiting for browsers to implement. - (Optional) type system, which some people are fans of. - Much stronger tooling & IDE support,…
