TypeScript is a programming language that constitutes a superset of JavaScript. This simply means that it adds a set of features to JavaScript. One of the main additions is static type checking, which reveals problems in the code as it is written, preventing many common errors that could affect users at runtime.
TypeScript also benefits from excellent integration with most IDEs like VS Code. Built-in type checking often helps detect potential problems without having to run special tools. As TypeScript code is written, it is transformed into regular JavaScript code so that it can run in a server environment or in a web browser.
Bottom line: The developer gets all the benefits of TypeScript, and end users don't need to know anything about it.
