✅Advantages of Using TypeScript

1. Type Safety
   • Error detection: - Identify and correct errors during the build phase, preventing runtime surprises.
   • Top-notch tooling - Utilize enhanced features like autocomplete, Intellisense, efficient code navigation, and linting.
   • Streamlined refactoring - Superior tooling simplifies refactoring compared to plain JavaScript.
   • Embrace the latest - Leverage the latest language innovations for cleaner, more concise code.
2. Enhanced Code Expressivity
   • Syntax sugar - Improves code readability and intuitiveness.
   • Automatic imports - Streamline module integrations.
3. Wider Browser Support
   • Multi-version targeting - Use a single TypeScript codebase across various JavaScript versions (e.g., ES5, ES6).
4. Boosted Code Confidence and Maintainability
   • Minimized risk - Reduce the likelihood of bugs and bolster code reliability.
   • Time efficiency - Dedicate less time to unit tests with increased code trustworthiness.
   • Early bug detection - Identify and rectify issues early.
   • Clarity - Craft cleaner, more transparent code.

❌ Disadvantages of TypeScript

1. Learning curve - Developers unfamiliar with statically typed languages might face an initial learning challenge.
2. Compilation step - An additional step to compile TypeScript to JavaScript can sometimes be perceived as a minor inconvenience.
3. Integration with some libraries - Not all JavaScript libraries come with TypeScript definitions by default.
