Typescript vs Javascript

A Detailed Comparison

Presence and Popularity

TypeScript is particularly popular for large, complex projects and is gaining traction among experienced developers.

Learning  Curve

JS syntax simpler, attracting more learners (60.51%). TS complexity (21.18%) due to static typing & advanced features.

Scalability

This is where TS has overtaken JS and has made a central stage when it comes to developing a web application.

Performance

TS: static types for safer dev, potentially faster code, compile overhead. JS : dynamic types for flexibility, risk of runtime errors.

Syntax

TS: Clear, robust code (complex projects), but compiles. JS: Quick projects, simpler syntax.

Tools and Framework

JS flexible, messy in big projects. TypeScript clean, limits tools. Choose based on size and preference.
