Discussion on: TypeScript before JavaScript?

If you already understand type systems, then typescript is all upside. It'll help you learn the JavaScript and DOM apis quite a bit faster in my experience (7 years of JavaScript, 2 years typescript). I think the only people that should wait in typescript or javscript newbies who don't know type systems either

Cool, thanks! I do feel I have a good grasp of type systems from Rust and Haskell, but I will say that TS's structural typing is pretty foreign to me. It's cool seeing different ways of solving that problem.
