Most of the people, who clicked on this article, probably are IT developers and that is what I meant. Let's say that I am a beginner in the world of code and just discovered C++, C#, Java and Python.
Right now I am trying to get some experience in web development. Most of articles I've read describes what HTML, CSS and JavaScript are. I've been looking for examples of JS and the syntax of JavaScript did not occur to me. It is just different.
Here comes TypeScript. Object-oriented/class-based programming language with static typing.
According to Wikipedia TS is syntactical superset of JavaScript, but JS is still one of the most popular programming languages with a huge number of workplaces. As a layman I am asking you:

Why TypeScript is not as much popular as JavaScript? Is it underrated? Maybe there is something that I missed or simply do not understand?

Here is one of articles in which is written that TypeScript is, obviously (tsmean), better for something that has to scale. By this post I am trying to make a kind of discussion. What do you think about that? Looking forward your view.
