Not exactly sure what it means that 2019 is the year of TypeScript. I worked on large projects at Microsoft and they used TypeScript exclusively on large scale systems for years. And there is a good reason it was used over vanilla JavaScript. I can't imagine not having type safety beyond 1 developer.

All I mean is, maybe this is the year that its adoption really skyrockets. I've been using it since 2015 and it's 🔥.
