      Yes indeed, Microsoft did good with VS Code and TypeScript, but folks thats no reason to drop Slack for Teams, it doesn't mean you take every single Microsoft product into your life now. Kudos once again though for VS Code and TypeScript, I live and breathe these tools everyday...even...now.

      I remember being in my C++ w/ data's structures class in 2018 and my professor showing us Sublime. I was like "oh that's cool, let me check out some other tools." Then I stumbled upon vscode and python. Everyone was hyping them and I went "sure I'll check this out." I was instantly impressed with Vscode. I never looked back. Now that I'm getting heavily into Next.js, I'm very happy the more I learn about Typescript and the feedback I get without even running the code. Reminds me when I'd debug C++ back in 2018, having the ability to have so much feedback on my code.

      SO YOU SWITCHED TO WEB WORLD?
      I do NOT see "real-world" problem being solved by using TypeScript.
      All I see are silly examples of a "function that adds or divides 2 numbers' to justify "type checking". e.g., Who writes a function just to do basic math????
      Next, developers are testing (aka runtime) their code LINE-BY-LINE anyway, so "compile-time" checking isn't all that beneficial in saving a developer time coding.
      In other words, TypeScript adds a layer of complexity that doesn't have that much benefit to JavaScript world.
      NEWS FLASH:
      1. Most data on the Client Side are STRINGS anyway.
      2. NUMBERS and DATES are already validated in the client's browser anyway.
      3. And YES, you are passing data for a KNOWN REASON. So you have a pretty good idea what is to be expected. And those to say you don't OR say you haven't worked with a large code base are justifying passing parameters that you have NO CLUE in what you are passing? If so, that is a sneaky form of "job security". LOL.
      ADDENDUM:
      > You're passing it for a reason so will usually know what it is in the object at least type-wise. -ksh1997
      "If you don’t see the importance then it might be because you have never been in a large project "
      Are you saying the name of the person passed in the parameter is too vague or misnamed? Or we should have NO CLUE what should be coming from that parameter?
      And that includes those of you who worked on a large code base as those of you who have,
      should have well-chosen names for parameters that describe what data is coming through.
      If so, why not give examples of "vague parameter variable names" that TypeScript solves in the REAL WORLD?

    Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, gave me great insights into the development of TypeScript and its grandiose effect on web development and the open source culture. One suggestion: When a novel concept is being talked about, be it structural typing, decorators, or Flow, would be cool to pair the interview with a visual depiction on the screen. Makes it easier to follow for those who don't know those things by heart.

I eventually helped all Bing teams to migrate to TypeScript, very nice seeing everyone jump on the same boat.

    *As soon as you will start understanding typescript you will stop hating it. This is exactly the moment when you will start to fall in love with this approach and see a new possibilities and adjustments to your workflow that will allow you to work more comfortably. I used to be a hater of typescript, but I wasn't even coding in javascript back then and when I decided to try it out and started to understand it, I just fell in love and never went back to plain javascript. The fact that you can have unions, with autocompletions that you can structure your data, its incredibly powerful*

    Most of tools I can use those days came from this new age Microsoft. Most of them were like inaccessible before there. A lot of things were harder to accomplish. Not only languages, language supersets, IDEs, frameworks, Language Server protocols (LSP) and their already done language servers made my life, and I think the life of a lot of programmers, a way better. That's why I am so grateful to everybody who helped this day to come. Opensource, even nowadays being like a big companies war, evolved so much after that. And, eventually this philosophy will get better and better (so I hope).

    it's only natural because vscode is built with typescript.

    I don’t think it can be understated how important typescript is. I know a lot of people fight it, I had to fight my company at the time, but once it’s in place it makes it easy to collaborate and refactor code. I got it into a small high priority project with 12 week turn around time with 7 devs. And we delivered before the deadline and a lot of that was catching breaking merges and quick refactoring.

    The single best decision TypeScript made at the beginning, in my opinion, is to make the language and the tooling together. Those two aspects of TypeScript complement each other so much! And also, the VSCode obviously, to showcase that tooling aspect. One day, I wish the "language" part of TypeScript to be merged into JavaScript, and the tooling aspect to become invisible, within the editors and IDEs or bundlers. Then in the JS ecosystem, it will be invisible, but everywhere!

    Late to this, but it was really refreshing hearing people from Microsoft address directly the mistrust many of us had back around the time TypeScript was announced. My guess at the time was that TypeScript was just a way for Microsoft to keep Visual Studio relevant for people doing JavaScript. At the time, trying to do "plain" JS in Visual Studio was horrible - like worse than just raw dogging it with Notepad (or as was mentioned, SublimeText). It was really the introduction of the TypeScript language server that deserves special mention. Even today, pretty much every editor (even Vim!) works with TypeScript - and Visual Studio is still about the worst. ;)
