How Typescript was originally created Anders Hejlsberg (Creator of TypeScript, C#): "The way TypeScript came about was actually indirectly, through C, because the Outlook. com team approached the C group and asked whether we would pretty please productize something called Script Sharp. Script Sharp was this thing that took C and transpiled it into JavaScript so you could run it in a browser. And I'm like, what? Why would you want to do that? Why don't you just write the Java? Well, because that way we can get great tooling. I'm like, wow, is JavaScript really that busted? And. And you're saying, like, the. The way you want to fix that problem is by abandoning JavaScript, treating it as an instruction language. Right? And then having a code generator targeted. I'm like, couldn't we, like, fix JavaScript? Wouldn't that be better? Do you know what I mean?"
