Do I master Typescript if I master Javascript ? Is Typescript syntax different ? Answers appreciated, thank you !
minus-square@nbafantestlink-4•11 months ago TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. It means any valid JavaScript is also valid TypeScript. This is backwards. JS is superset and all TS compiles to valid JS. The vast majority of JS does not translate to Typescript as the JS is untyped.

minus-square@nbafantestlink0•edit-211 months agoOh yeah if you add some sort of typing to the Javascript, sure.
