0–2 NestJS Hunter: Slaying Complexity in Node.js with TypeScript.

Using TypeScript, NestJS, and Node.js together is beneficial for modern web development for several reasons:

1. Type Safety: TypeScript’s static typing helps catch potential errors during development, leading to more reliable and maintainable code. It can also enhance the development experience with better autocompletion and documentation support in code editors.

2. Consistent Language: Since Node.js allows you to write server-side code in JavaScript, using TypeScript across both the front-end and back-end of an application enables you to maintain a consistent language throughout the entire development stack.

3. Modular Architecture: NestJS’s modular approach, inspired by Angular, encourages a well-structured and organized codebase. This makes it easier to manage large applications and promotes code reusability.

4. Scalability and Performance: Node.js’s event-driven, non-blocking I/O model allows for efficient resource usage and high performance when handling multiple concurrent connections. NestJS enhances this by providing an abstraction layer that simplifies building scalable applications.

5. Growing Ecosystem: The combination of TypeScript, NestJS, and Node.js has a vibrant and growing ecosystem with a vast number of libraries, tools, and resources available to help you build powerful applications more quickly and efficiently.

Now that we’ve discussed the benefits of using TypeScript, NestJS, and Node.js together, let’s move on to exploring TypeScript basics. Are you familiar with static typing, and can you explain how it differs from dynamic typing?
