TypeScript is usually described as a superset of JavaScript , meaning all valid JavaScript is also valid TypeScript . With a few notable exceptions (like Enums and namespaces), it is possible to go through a program, delete the type information, and arrive at a perfectly legitimate JavaScript program.

In a traditional IT ops culture, sysadmin “cowboys” would often SSH into production boxes, wrangling systems by making a bunch of random and unrepeatable changes, and then riding off into the sunset.

When it comes to working with data in a tabular form, most people reach for a spreadsheet. That’s not a bad choice: Microsoft Excel and similar programs are familiar and loaded with functionality for massaging tables of data.
