TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript development. TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. Any browser. Any host. Any OS. Open Source.

Btw, I've used it a lot, feel free to ask any questions.

I want this so bad, but I want to type it in my IDE of choice: Intellij IDEA/(or Eclipse, to play the devil's advocate).

Is there any legal reason why someone couldn't create a plugin for those Java ides to compile TypeScript?

There is Typescript language support for Emacs and Sublime Text, so there shouldn't really be a problem there; someone just has to do it.

IntelliJ has support for Typescript. I'm not sure if this is the level of support you're looking for but it seems like it should be sufficient.

The TypeScript tooling is completely open source (and actually written in TypeScript itself). So yeah I think we should see more support for TypeScript as it gains more traction.

Aren't you aware that support is already available since version 12.1.0?

Whoa, thank you sir. I assumed it didn't support it because I couldn't find a Typescript plugin when I searched their repository. I didn't think it would just be built in.

I will recommend you to try WebStorm Trial by IntelliJ (http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/)

This is the same as IDEA, but focused on Web Development and releasing new features much-much faster.

But best support offers MIcrosoft's Visual Studio. You could try Visual Studio Web Express (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-st...) if you are using Windows. It's totally free.

I am very excited by Typescript. I think JS was badly in need of some better typing. This release looks like it adds a lot: overloading on constants, enums, and generics will all lead to better typing. Never thought I'd say it, but thanks, Microsoft!
