Our software engineers love ❤️ TypeScript
Language of choice for all of our backends and frontends, which we use wherever and whenever possible since the beginning of code.store.
Why TypeScript?
Static typing is one of the biggest advantages of TypeScript. Unlike JavaScript, where variables are implicitly typed, TypeScript allows developers to define the types explicitly. This leads to better code quality and catches many errors at compile-time rather than at runtime. By catching these errors early on in the development process, TypeScript helps in building robust and bug-free applications.
TypeScript's support for modern ECMAScript features can significantly improve developer productivity. As JavaScript evolves, new features are introduced to the language. TypeScript allows developers to use these features without having to wait for browser support. It does this by transpiling TypeScript code into plain JavaScript code that can run on any modern browser.
Another notable feature of TypeScript is its strong support for tooling, including a powerful type inference system. With TypeScript, developers can write code faster, as they get real-time feedback on their code's correctness and can take advantage of code completion and automatic refactoring provided by IDEs.
When to use TypeScript?
Our teams use TypeScript wherever possible. It is our language of choice for the majority backend and frontend of applications featuring Node.js, ArcXP, Next.js and other frameworks and CMSs.
