TypeScript explained analogously.
TypeScript is quite a popular programming language, especially among web developers. It’s gained a lot of traction over the last few years, and some developers swear by it over JavaScript. Regardless of your feelings (if any) on the language, here are three analogies to help you gain a bit of understanding of the TypeScript language.
1st Analogy
TypeScript can be compared to a global positioning system.
Before a driver 🚗 leaves their house, route checking occurs through a GPS to ensure the driving route is as optimal as possible.
Before a developer 👩💻 runs their program, type checking occurs through a static type system to ensure the code is as error-free as possible.
2nd Analogy
TypeScript is like a parachute for developers.
A parachute gives a skydiver 🪂 the confidence they need to know they can fall out of a plane ✈️ safely and without danger.
TypeScript gives developers 👨💻 the confidence they need to know they can run their code 💻 safely and without errors.
3rd Analogy
TypeScript can be thought of as the more disciplined sibling of JavaScript.
TypeScript is good at following specific typed rules and could result in bug catches. 🥅
JavaScript is good at not following specific typed rules and could result in bugattacks! 🐛
