What is TypeScript?
Open Source Language and is a superset of Javascript.

Offers:
Static types
Types is optional
Compiles down to regular JS
Can be used for Front End & Backend with Node Js.
Includes most features from Ecmascript.
Types from 3rd party libraries can be added with typescript.

Dynamic vs Static Typing

Dynamically typed languages, the types are associated with the run time
values and not named explicitly in your code. 

Statically typed languages, you explicitly assign types to variables, functions,
parameters, return values, etc.

Static -> Java, C, Go
Dynamic -> Javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP

Pros
-> More Robust
-> Easily Spot Bugs
-> Predictability
-> Readibility
-> Popular

Cons
-> More code to write
-> More to learn
-> Required Compilation
-> Not True Static Typing

Compling typescript
Typescript uses .ts and .tsx extensions
TSC TypeScript Compiler.
Can watch files and report errors at compile time.
The tsconfig.json is used to configure how typescript work.
