TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.

Contribute
NOTE: Code changes in this repo are now limited to a small category of fixes:
- Crashes that were introduced in 5.9 or 6.0 that also repro in 7.0 and have a portable fix and don’t incur other behavioral changes
- Security issues
- Language service crashes that substantially impact mainline usage
- Serious regressions from 5.9 (these must seriously impact a large proportion of users)
Most bug fixes should be submitted to the typescript-go repository. Feature additions and behavioral changes are currently on pause until TypeScript 7.0 is completed.
There are many ways to contribute to TypeScript.
- Submit bugs and help us verify fixes as they are checked in.
- Review the source code changes.
- Engage with other TypeScript users and developers on StackOverflow.
- Help each other in the TypeScript Community Discord.
- Join the #typescript discussion on Twitter.
- Contribute bug fixes.
